A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 215 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 = 40 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 10 ft, be = 20 ft, and bi = 7 ft.

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 = 220 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 = 72 ft, b = 16 ft, and the height of the walls be 9 ft. The walls are sheathed with blocked particleboard. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a lag screw with a diameter of 1/2-in. inserted in the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.71 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

Use the AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic, 2015 Edition and ASD procedures to answer the following question.A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 380 lb/ft. The roof is sheathed with blocked wood structural panels. Is the diaphragm satisfactory in regard to the maximum diaphragm aspect ratio? Let L = 60 ft, a = 50 ft, b = 10 ft, be = 18 ft, and bi = 6 ft.

A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 370 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the collector force at the edge of the opening (point A)? Let L = 48 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 8 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft, bo = 12.5 ft.

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 225 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the roof diaphragm unit shear? Let L = 44 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 14 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft.

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 seismic load of wU = 210 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 = 48 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. The walls are sheathed with 1/2-in.-thick particalboard sheathing and 8d nails spaced every 6 in. around the panel edges. Is this design adequate for the load?

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 = 245 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 = 56 ft, b = 22 ft, and the height of the walls be 8 ft. The walls are sheathed with blocked particleboard. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?

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 9.5 ft. Ignoring the effects of gravity loads, what is the net maximum uplift force at the base of the shear walls?

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 = 210 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 = 64 ft, b = 22 ft, and the height of the walls be 10 ft. The walls are sheathed with conventional diagonal sheathing.
