Thank you for the responses. Is anyone familiar with this book "The Analysis of Irregular Shaped Structures Diaphragms and Shear Walls" https://www.amazon.com/Analysis-Irregular-Shaped-Structures-Diaphragms-dp-1264278829/dp/1264278829/ref=dp_ob_title_bk Was wondering if this book has good...

Hi all, I wanted to hear some thoughts and opinions on shear transfer of a 2-story home. The upper roof is going to be resisted by a shear wall along gridline F on the "upper floor plan."(picture attached) Could you then transfer this load to grids B and K/M on the "lower floor plan?" Or Even...

Hello I'm checking capacities of floor diaphragms and at a point where I have some stacking shear walls I'm wondering if the shear loads from the upper shear wall would transfer to the lower wall through nailing and blocking (SEE DETAILS 1 AND 4 OFF ATTACHED,) or would I still need to account...

How would I go about calculating the capacity of a knife plate of a beam to post connection? I have a GLB bearing on a 6x6 and need 7.5" bearing, would the detail (see attached) allow for me to avoid putting in a 6x8? Also how would I go about calculating a knife plate face mount hanger (see...

Hello all, I was reading over an article on the narrow shear wall. (Link) If i were to use the option "b" that's discussed, would I be able to use some simpson mstc straps to make a continuous header. I have posts breaking up a header in two locations and believe a couple of straps to make it...

I'm thinking carrying it down to 15 wouldn't be so bad now that im checking the size of the force. But then Im wondering how to check and/or detail the shear transfer from the flat roof diaphragm to the gable roof diaphragm. Ive attached a way that i think i could get the Shear force F=1700...

I redlined an attached sheet with a couple of questions, both similar. For the Area 2 question im thinking i may have to bring that force down to grid 15, but would like to avoid that. Also, for shear walls that are raked, is the height of that wall taken from the highest part of the wall or...

this was my first thought as well. ya it seems i may have to wait to hear back from him to see what he means here, I'll reply back to this tread once I do.

Hello all, I'm new to this forum so i hope this is the proper place for this question. My question is when is it sufficient to use kingstud nailing to resist shearwall overturning without a hold down. I am looking over some calculations from an outside engineer(that has been slow to get back to...
