Wood Structural Panels
For structural wood panels, you select from common wire nails, ring nails, spiral nails or power-driven nails. This affects the choices of nail lengths and diameters available, which in turn impacts shear resistance, withdrawal resistance to out-of plane wind loads, and the nail-slip component of shear wall deflection.
Gypsum Wallboard
For gypsum wallboard, you can choose between drywall nails and drywall screws.The choice has no impact on design.
