Use the AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic, 2015 Edition and ASD procedures to answer the following question.A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 345 lb/ft. The roof is sheathed with blocked wood structural panels. Is the diaphragm satisfactory in regard to the maximum diaphragm aspect ratio? Let L = 36 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 6 ft, be = 16 ft, and bi = 5 ft.

Use the AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic, 2015 Edition and ASD procedures to answer the following question.A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 295 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 = 32 ft, b = 18 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. The walls are sheathed with unblocked wood structural panels. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 360 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the maximum chord force? Let L = 44 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 14 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft.

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a floor system is 12-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 17 psf. Floor live load = 80 psf. Floor sheathing is to be an APA rated OSB sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by bending and shear for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 40/20 be adequate?

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 355 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the maximum chord force? Let L = 40 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 10 ft, be = 20 ft, and bi = 7 ft.

Use the AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic, 2015 Edition and ASD procedures to answer the following question.A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 345 lb/ft. The roof is sheathed with single-layer straight lumber sheathing. Is the diaphragm satisfactory in regard to the maximum diaphragm aspect ratio? Let L = 36 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 6 ft, be = 14 ft, and bi = 5 ft.

A wood member is loaded as shown. Using ASD, determine the adjusted tension strength, Ft’. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads act in the directions shown. Ignore the weight of the member.Load:PD = 3,000 lbPL = 0 lbPLr = 0 lbPS = 0 lbPR = 0 lbPW = 6,000 lbPE = 5,000 lbQD = 2,000 lbQL = 5,000 lbQLr = 0 lbQS = 4,000 lbQR = 4,000 lbQW = 0 lbQE = 0 lbSpan:L = 13 ft Member size:4 x 6 Stress grade and species:Select Structural Douglas Fir-Larch Unbraced length:lu = L/2 = 6.5 ft Moisture content:MC > 19 percent
