Can I specify proprietary fasteners such as gun nails?
Is there a soil capacity that can be assumed or do you have to do an actual test?

Are wood diaphragms presumed to be non-rigid in the 2015 International Building Code (IBC)?
BCD600 – Meeting Residential Energy Requirements with Wood-Frame Construction
Are OSB and plywood considered wood so the R values can be summed?
