A building with a non-structural interior wall 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 maximum chord force? Let L = 32 ft, a = 20 ft, b = 12 ft, be = 20 ft, and bi = 7 ft.
