2211.1.1.3Limitations on Cold-formed Steel Framed Shear Walls. The only sheathing materials permitted for cold-formed framed shear walls are steel sheets, wood structural panels, gypsum board panels, and fiberboard panels. 2211.1.1.3.1Limitations on Gypsum Board Panel and Fiberboard Panel Sheathed Cold Formed Steel Framed Shear Walls. Gypsum board and fiberboard sheathed cold-formed steel framed shear walls are limited as follows: 1. The building shall not be more than 35 feet in height as measured from mean grade plane to mean roof plane.2. The location of the shear walls shall be limited to exterior walls, fire walls, fire barriers, or fire partitions.3. The building is not in Risk Category IV.4. The seismic weight of each level (floor or roof), supported laterally by the shear walls, shall not be more than 25 psf. Where attics are not habitable, the seismic weight of a pitched roof shall include the dead load of the attic floor. 2211.6.1 Add subsection as follows:
