Light Gage Shear Wall Design Resources

[DHKpeWI]

Does anyone have a good resource for designing light gage shear walls? The building is in a high wind low seismic region.

MarinoWARE has tables and details.

But if you're looking for textbooks, I'm not sure where you're going to find anything.

Depends on which building code you are using. The 2009 IBC section 2210.6 states that they shall be designed per the ASIS S213.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

Thanks Jed & Woodman88!

I think IBC 2006 or 2009 even has a few tables for this??

MiketheEngineer - The 2003 IBC (possibly the 2006 too) does. But the 2009 IBC have removed them and sends you to the AISI S213 for lateral design. Another book for engineers to buy.

It's a conspiracy - pay more - learn less.
