    Wood Shear wall Penetrations

    Thank you all. With the spread of medium and large sized wooden buildings, I have been researching in Japan on the reduction of shear wall performance due to small openings. I found studies on doors and windows in foreign papers, but not on small openings. So I asked the question.

    Wood Shear wall Penetrations

    How are penetrations in panel sheathed shear wall dealt with? Do drilled pipe or small square penetrations, say for switch boxes, present a problem? I could only find SBCCI Standard for Hurricane Resistant Construction SSTD 10-99, but this only targets windows, doors, etc.
