Shear Walls With Cold Formed Steel Framing and Wood Structural Panel Sheathing
The construction of light gauge cold formed steel framed shear walls with wood structural panel sheathing is gaining in popularity due to the ease and speed of construction, high shear capacity and efficient choices. However the design of these walls is limited to what is available through research testing. There is currently no generally accepted design method that uses principles of mechanics to calculate the shear strength of cold-formed steel framed shear walls.
