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 0.47 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 = 320 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 single-story wood-frame building with an interior wall is exposed to a wind load of wU = 415 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, a = 17 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 10 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 1,300 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 building is exposed to a transverse load of wU = 315 lb/ft due to wind. Assume this load was determined from the ASD load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. The wood structural panel is 7/16-in. thick 24/16 span-rated sheathing unblocked. Nails are 8d common and spaced every 6 in. at diaphragm boundaries and supported panel edges. Is this design adequate for the transverse load? Let L = 60 ft and b = 40 ft.

A shear connection is fabricated with 3/4-in. bolts and lumber that has a moisture content of 22 percent. The lumber remains above 21 percent while the connection is in service. What wet service factor, CM, should be used?

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 = 52 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 9.5 ft. What is the unit shear in the shear walls?

Determine the dowel bearing strength for a 3/4-in.-diameter bolt in Spruce-Pine-Fir with the load applied perpendicular to grain.

Determine the dowel bearing strength for a 5/8-in.-diameter bolt in Southern Pine with the load applied perpendicular to grain.

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 = 1,500 lbPL = 0 lbPLr = 0 lbPS = 0 lbPR = 0 lbPW = 8,000 lbPE = 8,500 lbQD = 1,000 lbQL = 1,000 lbQLr = 2,000 lbQS = 3,500 lbQR = 1,000 lbQW = 0 lbQE = 0 lbSpan:L = 8 ft Member size:4 x 8 Stress grade and species:Select Structural Douglas Fir-Larch Unbraced length:lu = L/2 = 4 ft Moisture content:MC < 19 percent
