Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of rafters in a roof is 16-in. o.c. Roof dead load = 12 psf. Snow load = 39 psf. Roof sheathing is to be an APA rated plywood STRUCTURAL I sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the weak direction. The load is governed by deflection limits of L/360 for snow load and L/240 for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 32/16 be adequate?

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 = 7,000 lbPE = 7,500 lbQD = 500 lbQL = 3,500 lbQLr = 4,500 lbQS = 1,000 lbQR = 3,500 lbQW = 0 lbQE = 0 lbSpan:L = 14 ft Member size:4 x 10 Stress grade and species:No. 2 Douglas Fir-Larch Unbraced length:lu = L/2 = 7 ft Moisture content:MC > 19 percent 

If a column is loaded to failure, buckling will occur about the axis that has the largest slenderness ratio.

In wood design, the slenderness ratio is expressed as the least dimension of the cross section of a column divided by the effective unbraced length.

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a floor system is 24-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 14 psf. Floor live load = 130 psf. Floor sheathing is to be an APA rated OSB Sturd-I-Floor sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by a deflection limit of L/240, bending, and shear for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 24 oc be adequate?

A wood column is pin connected at its top and bottom. Determine the controlling slenderness ratio, le/d, for the column. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads are downward. Ignore the weight of the member.Load:PD = 2,000 lbPL = 5,000 lbPLr = 0 lbPS = 1,500 lbPR = 2,000 lbPW = 2,000 lbPE = 0 lbLength:L = 12 ftMember size:4 x 10Stress grade and species:Select Structural Douglas Fir-LarchUnbraced length:lu = L = 12 ftMoisture content:MC < 19 percent

Use APA D510 Panel Design Specification to answer the following question. What is the predominant performance category that corresponds to APA Rated Sheathing with a span rating of 24/16?

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a floor system is 12-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 19 psf. Floor live load = 105 psf. Floor sheathing is to be an APA rated OSB Sturd-I-Floor sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by a deflection limit of L/240, bending, and shear for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 24 oc be adequate?

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a floor system is 32-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 12 psf. Floor live load = 80 psf. Floor sheathing is to be an APA rated OSB Sturd-I-Floor sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by a deflection limit of L/240, bending, and shear for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 24 oc be adequate?

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a flat roof is 12-in. o.c. Roof dead load = 15 psf. Snow load = 54 psf. Roof sheathing is to be an APA rated plywood STRUCTURAL I sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the weak direction. The load is governed by deflection limits of L/360 for snow load and L/240 for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 32/16 be adequate?
