This video demonstrates the Tekla Tedds Wood shear wall design calculation. This calculation determines the capacity of wood structural panel and lumber sheathed shear walls acting as elements of a lateral force resisting system in accordance with the design provision contained within the ANSI/AF&PA Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic. It allows both allowable stress design (ASD) and load resistance factor design (LRFD) using either the segmented or perforated shear wall design methods.
