Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.12-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.72 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

A wood member is loaded as shown. Using ASD, determine the maximum axial stress in the member. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads act in the directions shown. Ignore the weight of the member.Load:PD = 3,000 lbPL = 0 lbPLr = 0 lbPS = 0 lbPR = 0 lbPW = 5,500 lbPE = 8,000 lbQD = 3,000 lbQL = 1,500 lbQLr = 4,500 lbQS = 1,000 lbQR = 3,000 lbQW = 0 lbQE = 0 lbSpan:L = 9 ft Member size:4 x 10 Stress grade and species:No. 1 Douglas Fir-Larch Unbraced length:lu = L/2 = 4.5 ft Moisture content:MC < 19 percent 

Determine the dowel bearing strength for a 1/2-in.-diameter bolt in Hem-Fir with the load applied perpendicular to grain.

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 = 295 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 = 32 ft, b = 18 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. The walls are sheathed with unblocked wood structural panels. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?

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 60-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 20 psf. Floor live load = 145 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?
