I don't have ready access to it (it stored away in my files somewhere) but the "ABK" report has test data on the performance of diagonal 1x sheathing. Maybe I can dig it up or pulse one of my other sources.
Additionally Gerry Pardoen & I (with others) did some large (16 x 20 or so) redwood diagonally sheathed diaphragms. I don't think I have a copy of the report. But maybe Gerry has access to it.
cheers

I'm working on an existing building built in Orange County around 1920 (or so). I need to determine the strength and stiffness of the floor diaphragm.
I know that the four term APA equation probably doesn't apply, but if not that, then what should I use instead?
