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 = 300 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 = 48 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 10 ft. Ignoring the effects of gravity loads, what is the net maximum uplift force at the base of the shear walls?

A single-story wood-frame building with an interior wall is exposed to a wind load of wU = 420 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 = 40 ft, a = 13 ft, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. If all of the walls are sheathed in the same manner and the allowable shear load of an anchor bolt parallel to the wall is 1,700 lb, would 3 anchor bolts be sufficient for the interior wall?

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 seismic load of wU = 560 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 = 52 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 9 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?

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.135-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.50 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

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 = 225 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 = 48 ft, b = 16 ft, and the height of the walls be 9.5 ft. The walls are sheathed with structural fiberboard. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?

A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 320 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 = 36 ft, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. What is the unit shear in the shear walls?

A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 205 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the collector force at the edge of the opening (point A)? Let L = 56 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 16 ft, be = 40 ft, and bi = 13 ft, bo = 15.5 ft.

A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 215 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the collector force at the edge of the opening (point A)? Let L = 42 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 12 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft, bo = 12.5 ft.

A nailed shear connection is fabricated with 3/4-in. bolts and lumber that has a moisture content of 20 percent. The lumber remains above 20 percent while the connection is in service. What wet service factor, CM, should be used?

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.12-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.59 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.
