I All
plywood and OSB walls must have
their edges blocked. (answer next
bullet point)
I False.
This is something of a trick
question. All plywood and OSB shear
walls must have their edges blocked.
But not all plywood and OSB walls are
shear walls. IBC Table 2308.9.3(3).
I There are heavy duty requirements for this, but they are only
listed in an obscure footnote in a table in the IBC, and
builders dont know which walls would fall into this category
anyway.
I This would apply to any wood structural panel with 8ds at
3 or less edge spacing, or with 10ds at 4 or less edge
spacing.
I All edge-nailed members must be at least 3x. IBC allows 2,
2x in lieu of a 3x. (True for studs but not mud sill.)
I All mud sills must be at least 3x, except 2x can be used
where double the number of anchor bolts are used. (True
IBC 2305.3.11 Exception).

Prescriptive (braced) shear
walls: IBC 2308
I Are shear walls that are allowed by the IBC, without having to be
engineered.
I Are only allowed with conventional framing:
Max 3-stories in seismic design category (SDC) A; 2-stories in SDC B
and C; 1-story in SDC D and E.
Max floor to floor height = 10 stud + 16 floor framing.
Dead load <= 15 psf; live load <= 40 psf; snow load <= 50psf; wind <=
100 mph;
truss span <= 40
Anchor bolt spacing = 4 when 2 or 3-stories.
Continuous foundation under braced wall lines required if a plan
dimension > 50.
not allowed at all for occupancy category IV (essential facilities);
in seismic design categories D and E, structural irregularities can not
be conventional.

I Are the links in the lateral load path from applied load to
resisting element(s).
I Are every bit as important as the shear wall or frame itself
because they are links in the chain.
I IBC treats these harshly, requiring them to be
overdesigned by a factor of approximately 2.5.
