HI,

I am selecting a strong wall based on my structural calculations. I am using the ASD method. My actual shear load before applying load factor 0.7 is 5046, typically when I pick up my shear wall. I applied 0.7, then picked up the shear wall.

However, on this app with Simpson. Shear load asking for DEMAND SHEAR LOAD. Should I input shear load 5046 or 5046x0.7 ?

Thanks

Attachment doesnt open for me.

But, if you hover over the question mark on the input field where you put the shear load in, it asks for the ASD design shear load.
