Use the AWC Speciаl Design Prоvisiоns fоr Wind аnd Seismic, 2015 Edition аnd ASD procedures to answer the following question.A building is exposed to a transverse load of wU = 400 lb/ft due to wind. Assume this load was determined from the ASD load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. The wood structural panel is 7/16-in. thick 24/16 span-rated sheathing unblocked. Nails are 8d common and spaced every 6 in. at diaphragm boundaries and supported panel edges. Is this design adequate for the transverse load? Let L = 58 ft and b = 30 ft.
Use the AWC Speciаl Design Prоvisiоns fоr Wind аnd Seismic, 2015 Edition аnd ASD procedures to answer the following question.A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 345 lb/ft. For simplicity, assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it, and that the building has no windows or doors. Let L = 44 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 10 ft. The walls are sheathed with 19/32-in.-thick wood structural panels and 10d nails spaced every 6 in. around the panel edges. Is this design adequate for the load?
