Fiberboard wall sheathing (an example fiberboard product photograph is shown at above left), when intended for use on a building exterior is installed by nailing directly to the wall studs, most often with let-in diagonal bracing or plywood panel bracing at the building corners to assure ...
3. Shear response of wood panel-to-steel sheet screw connections If the capacity design is used for the SWWS, their seismic behaviour depends mainly on the shear response of wood panel-to-steel sheet screw connections (sheathing connections). The shear response of plywood and OSB sheathing conne...
or some sort of code-approved sheet material to stiffen the structure against racking. In a typical braced wall, the framing is primarily secured by a structural sheathing panel, such as OSB or plywood. The most important force at play for this wall is a shear force from the wall moving ...
Plywood also has different plys (3,4 and 5 ply). We usually specify 5 ply just because if you have trusses @ 24" on center 3 ply is pretty flexible (out-of-plane). If you look at the Panel Design Specification 2008 by APA they will show you how they all relate: Thickness Vs ...
Although the additional bracing influences the strength of the CFS studs in the wall panel, the sheathing that is attached to the CFS wall stud as a covering (Fig. 1d) by means of a fiberboard, plywood, and gypsum board can also contribute to the strength of the CFS wall studs ...
As used herein, “structural panel” is intended to mean a panel product composed primarily of wood which, in its commodity end use, is essentially dependent upon certain mechanical and/or physical properties for successful end use performance such as plywood. A non-exclusive description may be ...
