A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 310 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 = 50 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 10 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft, bo = 12.5 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 = 550 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 = 44 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 9 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?

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 290 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 = 52 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 12 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft.

A single-story wood-frame building with an interior wall is exposed to a wind load of wU = 325 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, a = 10 ft, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 9.5 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 1,600 lb, would 5 anchor bolts be sufficient for the interior wall?

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 = 220 lb/ft. The roof is sheathed with single-layer straight lumber sheathing. Is the diaphragm satisfactory in regard to the maximum diaphragm aspect ratio? Let L = 68 ft, a = 50 ft, b = 18 ft, be = 22 ft, and bi = 7 ft.
