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 0.54 where the fastener axis is perpendicular to the wood fibers.

A withdrawal connection is fabricated with lag screws and lumber that has a moisture content of 18 percent. The lumber remains above 23 percent while the connection is in service. What wet service factor, CM, should be used?

Determine the dowel bearing strength for a 1-in.-diameter bolt in Spruce-Pine-Fir with the load applied parallel to grain.

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 285 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 = 44 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 14 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft.

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.
