Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 9 and may not reflect current behavior.
The Hold-down and Drag Strut table has been split into two tables, one for hold-downs and one for drag struts. The new Hold-down design table includes hold-down capacity design information.
A column has been added to indicate the name of the hold-down device from the database used at hold-down location.
The ASD capacity of the hold-down at that location
The ratio of combined, factored hold-down force to capacity. A value greater than one indicates a failed design.
The legend has been split up to show information pertaining to each column on a separate line, edited for clarity. Information about uplift force for perforated walls for staggered openings added. Lines describing new data added.
Note for dead load factor removed and value of factor placed in legend. Note for seismic anchor bolt washers now refers to SDPWS 4.3.6.4.3 and 4.4.1.6, not IBC.
New table has been added giving the components of shearwall displacement for hold-downs. It is described in the section on deflection output, below.
