Does anyone know where I can get allowable loads for plywood shearwalls with lightgage metal studs. I see no point in using X bracing if plywood sheathing is to be used. The IBC only list values with wood studs.

ronster: The IBC 2000, Section 2211.3 does provide for plywood sheathing on cold-formed steel studs. See also Table 2211.1(1) for the shear values.
