A 3 x 10 rafter frames into a 3 x 4 stud wall. The load is a combination of PD = 130 lb and PS = 470 lb. Consider the D + S load combination. Determine the ASD actual bearing stress fc⊥ in the top plate of the wall.

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a floor system is 19.2-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 20 psf. Floor live load = 121 psf. Floor sheathing is to be an APA rated OSB Sturd-I-Floor sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by a deflection limit of L/240, bending, and shear for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 24 oc be adequate?

For glulams, what moisture content value is considered a dry condition?

A column is loaded in compression as follows. What is the controlling factored load for ASD?Dead load: 23 kipsFloor live load: 8 kipsRoof rain load: 6 kipsRoof live load: 10 kips

The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 4 ft by 7 ft, and the materials have been cut and stacked so that each layer completely covers the pallet. Use ASCE 7-10 to determine the total dead load resting on the pallet.4 layers of asphalt shingles5 layers of decking, 2-in. wood (Douglas fir)6 layers of plywood, 1/2-in. thick

Checking the adequacy of a member of known size is considered _______.

What is the moment of inertia, Ixx, about the X-X axis for 3-1/2 in. x 12 in. Western Species glulams?

A wood column is pin connected at its top and bottom. Determine the controlling slenderness ratio, le/d, for the column. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads are downward. Ignore the weight of the member.Load:PD = 1,000 lbPL = 2,500 lbPLr = 3,500 lbPS = 2,000 lbPR = 5,000 lbPW = 2,000 lbPE = 0 lbLength:L = 14 ftMember size:4 x 12Stress grade and species:No. 2 Douglas Fir-LarchUnbraced length:lu = L = 14 ftMoisture content:MC < 19 percent

Use APA Technical Note Q225 entitled Load-Span Tables for APA Structural-Use Panels and ASD procedures to answer the following question.The spacing of joists in a floor system is 24-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 17 psf. Floor live load = 145 psf. Floor sheathing is to be an APA rated OSB sheathing, and panels are to be oriented in the strong direction. The load is governed by bending and shear for total load. Only consider these limits. Assume multi-span, normal duration of load, dry conditions, and panels 24 inches or wider. Would a panel with a span rating of 40/20 be adequate?

The two columns in the following floor framing plan support only loads from a bowling alley on the second floor. The city has approved floor live load reductions for this particular building. A dead load of 12.7 psf acts on the tributary area of the columns. Combine this with the reduced floor live load, and then determine the total load that acts on one of the columns.
