Lateral Loads on Wood Screws 1

[KarlT]

I wanted to ask if anyone knows of any design values for allowable or ultimate lateral loads on wood screws fastening plywood or OSB sheathing into wood joists/studs? Up here in Canada (where it's starting to get cold again!!) we have design values available for the lateral resistance of nails and lag screws but unfortunately nothing is given for wood screws other than withdrawl resistance.

Thanks!
