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 = 380 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 = 48 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 8 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 single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind 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 = 36 ft, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 8 ft. The walls are sheathed with 15/32-in.-thick Structural I wood structural panels and 8d nails spaced every 6 in. around the panel edges. Is this design adequate for the load?

A single-story wood-frame building with an interior wall is exposed to a wind load of wU = 475 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 = 28 ft, a = 9 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 1,800 lb, would 4 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 = 465 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 blocked. Nails are 8d common and spaced every 6 in. at diaphragm boundaries and all panel edges utilizing a single row of nails. Is this design adequate for the transverse load? Let L = 50 ft and b = 30 ft.

A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 395 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 10 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 = 245 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.
