If someone was asking you to check the fasteners for wood furring strips/cement panel siding what would you be checking exactly? Just the withdrawal from wind and the weight of the material? In this case, it's nails.
It depends. Is this a delegated design? What part of the system is 'yours' to design? If the furring and backup framing is defined by others you would stop at the fastener. I would think the panels themselves would be part of the analysis?
Just the fastener @structsu10 I guess my question is what exactly would you include with this. Just withdrawal calculations and state spacing of nails? Not really sure how these things usually work
