Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.244-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.56 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

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 = 52 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 12 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft, bo = 12.5 ft.

Determine the dowel bearing strength for a 1-in.-diameter bolt in White Oak with the load applied parallel to grain.

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.283-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.49 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 285 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the roof diaphragm unit shear? Let L = 24 ft, a = 20 ft, b = 4 ft, be = 10 ft, and bi = 3 ft.

A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 355 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 = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 9.5 ft. What is the unit shear in the shear walls?

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.113-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.68 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 = 250 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 = 44 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 8 ft. Ignoring the effects of gravity loads, what is the net maximum uplift force at the base of the shear walls?

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 = 64 ft, b = 24 ft, and the height of the walls be 10 ft. The walls are sheathed with gypsum wallboard. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?
