Maximum Shear Capacity Limitation

SDPWS 4.3.2.3(4) requires that perforated shear walls have a maximum nominal capacity of 2435 lbs, which is ASD capacity of 870 plf (seismic) and 1217.5 plf (wind)

When materials are entered that have a capacity greater than this capacity, the materials’ capacity is reset to the amount. An exclamation mark (!) appears beside the value in the shear results table, and an explanatory note appears below.
