Important Note – These are descriptions to changes implemented in WoodWorks Shearwalls for version 9.3 and may not reflect current behavior.
The design ratio in the Design Results output for nail withdrawal showed the end zone ratio for both end zones and interior zones. It now shows the correct ratios.
This problem did not affect design, as the end zone ratio is used for nail design.
The number of digits precision for Imperial nail withdrawal force and capacity has been changed from whole pounds to 10ths of a pound.
When there is the same sheathing on both sides of the shearwall, the v value reported in the deflection table is the shear going into just one of the sides, so it is in fact ½ the total shear applied to the segment. The resulting deflections calculated are correct; however the program was showing a misleading shear value. The program now shows the total shear going into the segment in this case.
In the hold-down displacement table, it now says ASD, not ADS, when referring to load combinations
