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 32-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 15 psf. Floor live load = 71 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 restaurant on the second floor. The city has approved floor live load reductions for this particular building. A dead load of 12.6 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.

Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing an enclosed building. The mean roof height is 25 ft, and the roof angle is 30 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 135 mph. Assume that exposure category D is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the velocity pressure exposure coefficient, Kh.

A wood member is loaded as shown. Using ASD, determine the adjusted bending strength, Fb’. Assume normal temperatures, no incising, and that all loads act in the directions shown. Ignore the weight of the member.Load:PD = 3,000 lbPL = 0 lbPLr = 0 lbPS = 0 lbPR = 0 lbPW = 7,500 lbPE = 5,500 lbQD = 3,000 lbQL = 3,000 lbQLr = 5,000 lbQS = 500 lbQR = 1,000 lbQW = 0 lbQE = 0 lbSpan:L = 11 ft Member size:4 x 8 Stress grade and species:No. 1 & Better Douglas Fir-Larch Unbraced length:lu = 0 ft Moisture 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 19.2-in. o.c. Floor dead load = 20 psf. Floor live load = 147 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?

If a building contains columns that are evenly spaced every 25 feet in the north-south direction and 16 feet in the east-west direction, the tributary area of a typical corner column would be _______.
