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 = 400 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 = 56 ft, b = 18 ft, and the height of the walls be 9.5 ft. The walls are sheathed with blocked particleboard. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?
Use the AWC Speciаl Design Prоvisiоns fоr Wind аnd Seismic, 2015 Edition аnd ASD procedures to answer the following question.A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 255 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 = 12 ft, and bi = 4 ft.
