What I was referring to, perhaps obtusely, is that each structural engineering firm is going to have their own preferred shear wall schedule and format; there is no "industry standard" schedule that I've ever seen. Where some firms are okay with a certain number of 5/8" bolts or A35 clips, for a given shear value, others will want more or less, based on their own field experiences or risk/comfort levels. They will also have their own nomenclature for different types of shear walls, as well as associated notes. So coming up with a predefined "universal" shear wall schedule is a fruitless task.
Now it may be that you are working with a particular engineering firm on an ongoing basis. In that case, it may make sense to create a schedule for them that you can reuse.Last edited by RMorrison; 12-30-2006 at 07:39 PM.

Richard:
Just trying to learn here, this is an area that isn't covered by the IRC codes or even the local permit dept codes ?
