I'm looking to use a light gage steel truss roof system with a plywood diaphram. I cannot find any source / code that lists allowable shear forces for light gage steel with wood (the codes only list steel trusses with steel diaphragm or wood on wood). Conservatively, I should be able to use the wood with wood values listed in the UBC, but am trying to find more accurate values. Does anyone have any insight with this problem? Thanks
