Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.192-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.44 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

An adolescent comes to the clinic for an evaluation. Assessment reveals a possible urinary tract infection. What would the nurse expect to be done to confirm this suspicion?

Determine the dowel bearing strength for a 1/2-in.-diameter bolt in Western Cedars with the load applied parallel to grain.

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.192-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.55 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 single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a seismic 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 = 28 ft, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 8 ft. The walls are sheathed with 15/32-in.-thick 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 = 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.

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 = 385 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, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 8 ft. Ignoring the effects of gravity loads, what is the net maximum uplift force at the base of the shear walls?

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a lag screw with a diameter of 1-1/8-in. inserted in the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.50 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

A single-story wood-frame building with an interior wall is exposed to a wind load of wU = 375 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, a = 16 ft, b = 30 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 1,900 lb, would 4 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 single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 290 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 = 68 ft, b = 22 ft, and the height of the walls be 9.5 ft. The walls are sheathed with unblocked wood structural panels. Are the shear walls satisfactory in regard to the maximum shear wall aspect ratio?
