RE: 2003 IBC - double design unit shear - wood panel both sides s teel studs?

Yes, that's correct. Section 2211.2.2.8 of IBC '03 allows cumulative shear of the 2 sides to be used, with some limitations based on the material similarity.

Subject: 2003 IBC - double design unit shear - wood panel both sides steel studs?

Hello:

 

2000 IBC section 2211.3.1 says capacities cannot be doubled for applying wood panels on both sides of a steel stud shear wall.  It seems someone told me that the 2003 IBC will allow capacities to be doubled for wood panels on both sides of the wall.  I have not purchased the 2003 IBC code yet.  Does anyone have an idea if this is the case.  Thanks.

 

Respectfully,
