The table below lists the design code provisions applicable to cellulostic fiberboard (CFB) shear wall design for the IBC 2012 and the 2008 AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS) .
The table also contains two columns indicating how Versions 7-8 of Shearwalls implemented the provisions, and how the Shearwalls 9/10 program now does. If there was a change between the two versions, it has been indicated in bold.
References to the design codes precede each provision. The symbol T means "Table".
For some provisions, more detailed information is found in a table dedicated to the provision in another topic that is cross-referenced in this table.
The term "Design code" means that for Shearwalls version 7/8, the value or method used depended on design code chosen. Now only the SDPWS is used.

The shear capacities shown here are the seismic values in table 4.3A divided by 2.0 for ASD design. For wind design, multiply by the 1.4 wind increase factor (see Shear Capacity Adjustments, below) |

*Shearwalls multiplies seismic resistances from Section A the table by 1.4 for wind design. The values may be slightly different than those in Section B of the table due to rounding. |

*The shear capacities shown above are the seismic values in table 4.3A divided by 2.0 for ASD design. |
