A single-story wood-frame building with an interior wall is exposed to a wind load of wU = 420 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 = 40 ft, a = 13 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 1,700 lb, would 3 anchor bolts be sufficient for the interior wall?
