I removed my slip-ons, sheathed my feet, and walked in.
This paper examines wind loads acting on roof sheathing on typical low-rise, wood-frame houses for a variety of parameters including roof shape, roof slope, building height, upstream terrain and the presence of surrounding structures placed in several patterns.
This paper provides a numerical analysis of sheathing boards influence on racking resistance of timber-frame walls coated with single sheathing boards fastened to a timber frame.
In this paper the effects of sheathing material type on the cyclic lateral load behavior of CFS walls were investigated.
Considering the variation in wind loads, an effective prescriptive standard for sheathing on gable roofs, would discriminate by terrain and roof zone.
Shear walls made of cold-formed steel with sheathing on one or both sides are composite structures.
It was found that roof shape and upstream terrain have the most significant effect on wind loads acting on roof sheathing.
Many other tests have been conducted on roof sheathing, window openings, soffits and sidings, as well as on the form of the structures.
The builders reject this argument, claiming that the decomposition of the plywood begins on the sheathing's top surface, under the shingles, and not on the underside, where ventilation might help.
