Perforated Shear Walls

[SteelPE]

I was looking into designing a wood structure in accordance with IBC 2009. The structure will have perforated shear walls. IBC 2006 section 2305.3.8.2.4 used to deal with perforated shear walls specifically equations 23-3 and 23-4 however; this section was removed from IBC 2009. Does anyone know where this sections went?

It is in the AF&PA SDPWS (See 2009 IBC section 2306.3)as a free viewable only pdf.

As EOR's we should take the responsibility to design our structures to support the components we allow in our design per that industry standards.

SteelPE,

you may want to download an excel file called 'IBC 2009 & ASCE7-05 edition (Revised 7/26/2011)' from

One of the tabs is on perforated shear walls.
