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 = 315 lb/ft. The roof is sheathed with unblocked wood structural panels. Is the diaphragm satisfactory in regard to the maximum diaphragm aspect ratio? Let L = 72 ft, a = 50 ft, b = 22 ft, be = 14 ft, and bi = 5 ft.

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 = 40 ft, b = 20 ft, and the height of the walls be 9.5 ft. What is the unit shear in the shear walls?

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 = 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 1,400 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 is exposed to a transverse load of wU = 465 lb/ft due to wind. Assume this load was determined from the ASD load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. The wood structural panel is 7/16-in. thick 24/16 span-rated sheathing blocked. Nails are 8d common and spaced every 6 in. at diaphragm boundaries and all panel edges utilizing a single row of nails. Is this design adequate for the transverse load? Let L = 50 ft and b = 30 ft.

Determine the reference withdrawal design value, W, for a smooth shank carbon steel nail or spike with a diameter of 0.375-in. driven into the side grain of a wood member with a specific gravity of 0.56 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 = 475 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, a = 9 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 1,800 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 building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 370 lb/ft. The roof is sheathed with double-layer diagonal lumber sheathing. Is the diaphragm satisfactory in regard to the maximum diaphragm aspect ratio? Let L = 44 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 14 ft, be = 12 ft, and bi = 4 ft.

Determine the dowel bearing strength for a 1-in.-diameter bolt in Yellow Poplar with the load applied perpendicular to grain.

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 245 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 = 48 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 8 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 = 415 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 = 52 ft, a = 17 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 10 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 1,300 lb, would 3 anchor bolts be sufficient for the interior wall?
