Nominal unit shear values shall be adjusted in accordance with 4.3.3 to determine ASD allowable unit shear capacity and LRFD factored unit resistance. For general construction requirements see 4.3.6. For <br />specific requirements, see 4.3.7.1 for wood structural panel shear walls, 4.3.7.2 for particleboard shear walls, and 4.3.7.3 for fiberboard shear walls. See Appendix A for common and box nail dimensions. <br />2. Shears are permitted to be increased to values shown for 15/32 inch sheathing with same nailing provided (a) studs are spaced a maximum of 16 inches on center, or (b) panels are applied with long dimension <br />across studs. <br />3. For species and grades of framing other than Douglas-Fir-Larch or Southern Pine, reduced nominal unit shear capacities shall be determined by multiplying the-tabulated nominal unit shear capacity by the <br />Specific Gravity Adjustment Factor = [1-(0.5-G)], where G.==, Specific Gravity of the framing lumber from the NDS (Table 11.3.2A). The Specific Gravity Adjustment Factor shall not be great&r than.1-6 <br />4. Apparent shear stiffness values Go, are based on nail slip in framing with moisture content less than or equal to 19% at time of fabrication and panel stiffness values for shear walls constructed with either OS B <br />or 3-ply plywood panels. When 4-ply. or 5-ply.plywood panels or composite panels are used, Go.values .shall be·permittqd to be·increased by 1.2. <br />5. Where moisture content of the framing is greater than 19% at time-of fabrication, Go values shall be multiplied by 6.5. <br />6. Where panels are applied on both faces of a shear wall and nail spacing is less than 6" on center on either.side, panel joints shall be offset to fall on different framing members. Alternatively, the width of the <br />nailed face of framing members shall be 3" nominal or greater at adjoining panel edges and nails at all panel edges shall be staggered. <br />7. Galvanized nails shall be hot-dipped or tumbled. <br />SIN31SAS-UNUSIS3H-30610:1 1983191 <br />AMERICAN FOREST & PAPER ASSOCIATION
