Use the AWC Speciаl Design Prоvisiоns fоr Wind аnd Seismic, 2015 Edition аnd 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?

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, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. The walls are sheathed with 3/8-in.-thick wood structural panels and 6d nails spaced every 6 in. around the panel edges. Is this design adequate for the load?
