Hi All..

Greetings..

I just want to know if the steel sheathing used to resist shear forces as mentioned on IBC 2003 section 2211.2.2.1 includes sheathing with metal decking patterns? Pattern like continuous 3" wide x 1" deep at 16" o.c. horizontal to be specific. Considering that all other requirements like screw spacing, framing spacing, shearwall aspects ratio, edges attachments and others are satisfied..

Thanks..
Noel
