Interior Zone C&C Loads for the I-15 Method (Bug 2633)

Starting with version 8.2 of the program, for the I-15 (all heights) wind load generation method, the program was generating interior zone Component and Cladding (C&C) loads using the 1.2 Cp* coefficient from Figure I-8 and end zone loads with the 0.9 coefficient when it should be reversed. These loads appear in plan view, elevation view, and the C&C table of the design results.

As a result, the program designed for nail withdrawal for lighter than expected end zone loads, but may show a failing design ratio in the output for the heavier than expected interior zone loads. It conservatively designed for sheathing strength using heavier than expected interior loads.
