Question: A 4 x 8 , No . 1 , Douglas Fir - Larch joist ( strong axis bending ) is supported by a 6 6

A 4x8, No.1, Douglas Fir-Larch joist (strong axis
bending) is supported by a 66, No.1, Ponderosa
Pine column. The joist rests on the column such that
the bearing length of the joist covers the entire width
of the vertical column and the joist is centered on the
vertical column in the other direction (transverse
direction of the joist). The vertical force transferred
from one member to the other at the connection is
10,000lbs, with a load duration factor of 1.25 and an
equilibrium moisture content of 20%.
What is the actual bearing stress on each member?
395 psi
520 psi
420 psi
210 psi
