Diaphragm Panel Length = Dimension perpendicular to the resisting
shear wall
Diaphragm Panel Width = Dimension parallel to the resisting shear
wall
For example:
For Shear Walls A and B, the diaphragm panel length to width ratio
is X1/Y
For Shear Walls D and F, the diaphragm panel length to width ratio
is Y/X1
Note: Shear walls should be placed on all four sides of the
diaphragm panel or the resulting torsion should be accounted
for.

Example of how to use wind-load resistance curve: If using a

divide this by 1.6 to give 20 psf (958 Pa), then multiply by a
safety factor of 2.7. Locate 54 psf (2,586 Pa) wind pressure (on
