Use the AWC Manual for Engineered Wood Construction, 2018 Edition to answer the following question. An APA Rated Sheathing panel with a span rating of 32/16 is used with framing that is spaced at 24 o.c. Does the panel require edge support? Assume the panel is 24 inches or wider.

Natural selection is the process by which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce, while evolution is the process by which individual organisms change during their lifetime to adapt to their environment.

A pin-connected wood truss is loaded and supported as shown. Determine the axial force produced in member GH if PB = 700 lb, PC = 2,000 lb, PD = 2,600 lb, L = 6 ft, and h = 8 ft. Positive choices indicate tension. Negative choices indicate compression.

Use the AWC Manual for Engineered Wood Construction, 2018 Edition to answer the following question. An APA Rated Sheathing panel with a span rating of 48/24 is used with framing that is spaced at 26 o.c. Does the panel require edge support? Assume the panel is 24 inches or wider.

A wood member is loaded as shown. Using ASD, determine the adjusted bending strength, Fb’. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads act in the directions shown.
