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
