Are there any shotpins (or similar) in the market, with an available ESR report, to transfer seismic shear forces from shear wall (down to cold-form steel tracks) to concrete slab of self-suported structure?

Hi Cruzinbear,
Typically our firm has used Hilti X-U pins for a situation similar to what you describe when the walls are fairly lightly loaded. Please note that we have not used them for a designated seismic system, only R=3 systems so far (I think that seismic testing was specifically out scoped in the reports linked below).

Good luck!
