The program outputs only one line of shear results data when there is only one shearwall on the line, on the assumption that the information for the line will be identical to that for the wall. However, when the shearline does not extend the whole distance between exterior walls, the shearline length is different than the wall length. The V/L value shown is that for the shearline, that is, the diaphragm shear flow, and not the design shear flow that is needed for the wall. The design ratio therefore does not correspond to the force V/L and the resistance Vr/L values shown in the line.
