Need Shearwall Nailing Schedule (table)

Maybe there is confusion between shear walls and braced wall panels? Around here if it’s called a shearwall is MUST be done so by an engineer. Under conventional construction we can use “braced wall panels, but not “shearwalls” although they are pretty much the same thing.

I came across this very informative document on the Fairfax county Permit Dept website. It is for designs up to 90 MPH winds in 3 second gusts.
