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 = 340 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 unblocked. Nails are 8d common and spaced every 6 in. at diaphragm boundaries and supported panel edges. Is this design adequate for the transverse load? Let L = 56 ft and b = 30 ft.

A single-story wood-frame building with an interior wall is exposed to a wind load of wU = 420 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, a = 13 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 1,700 lb, would 3 anchor bolts be sufficient for the interior wall?

According to your textbook, Robert Hill and Carol Stack challenged the “social pathology” approach to studying Black families by emphasizing their resilience and adaptive strategies rather than viewing them as broken or deficient. Their work laid the foundation for which theoretical approach to understanding Black families?

A parent is alarmed because their 6-week-old child has begun vomiting almost immediately after every feeding. In the past week, the vomiting has grown more forceful, with the vomit projecting several feet from their mouth. They are always hungry again just after vomiting. At the health care provider’s office, the nurse holds the child and offers them a bottle. While they drink, the nurse notes an olive-size lump in their right abdomen. Which condition should the nurse suspect in this child?

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 = 355 lb/ft. The roof is sheathed with single-layer diagonal lumber sheathing. Is the diaphragm satisfactory in regard to the maximum diaphragm aspect ratio? Let L = 56 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 16 ft, be = 22 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 seismic 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 = 52 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 10 ft. The walls are sheathed with 3/8-in.-thick wood structural panels and 6d nails spaced every 6 in. around the panel edges. Is this design adequate for the load?

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 = 375 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 unblocked. Nails are 8d common and spaced every 6 in. at diaphragm boundaries and supported panel edges. Is this design adequate for the transverse load? Let L = 46 ft and b = 30 ft.
