...I understand the concept of calculating stiffness. However, in my limited experience, this method of distribution in a single line has typically been applied to rigid (ie: conc, masonry) shear walls.
It seems to me that applying this method to wood shear walls would result in a long...
A peer reviewer is stating that loads to wood shear walls in a single line must be distributed per wall stiffness instead of per wall length. He cites AF&PA '08 sect 4.3.3.4. I cannot find design examples using this method, nor much discussion on the topic.
Any direction pls?
