Unfortunately 2009 IBC (in at least the first and second printings) TABLE 2306.3 WOOD STRUCTURAL PANEL SHEAR WALLS unintentionally omits several panel thicknesses (3/8, 7/16, 15/32 and 19/32-inch) from the Sheathing, plywood siding except Group 5 Species panel grade section. This unintentional omission is acknowledged by ICC staff and an errata is in the works.

Designers wishing to use 3/8, 7/16, 15/32 and 19/32-inch sheathing or plywood siding panels may refer to alternate shear wall tables such as APA’s Engineered Wood Construction Guide, Form E30, and Diaphragms and Shear Walls Design/Construction Guide, Form L350. Other sources are ANSI/AF&PA SDPWS-2008 - Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic and of course 2006 IBC TABLE 2306.4.1 WOOD STRUCTURAL PANEL SHEAR WALLS.
