ibc code approval of shearwall
i thought i read somewhere in the incomprehesible building code that exterior shearwall design allowed the use of the combined shear resistance of exterior plywood and interior gypsum. anyone know where this is found? thanks
look in section 2305.3.9, the exception for wind design at the top of the right column. i believe this is what you were looking for.

thanks - i was looking for that also!!
i knew it was there - but had lost it
nice to hear that you guys are giving the "i" in ibc a better meaning than "international", as it is not.
