Question: A construction project is under a tight schedule, and decides to use available highcost appearance - grade exterior panels ( Sanded ) , stamped A

A construction project is under a tight schedule, and decides to use available highcost appearance-grade exterior panels (Sanded), stamped A-C Group 1 Exterior. Will this (1)/(2)-inch panel with supports perpendicular to the face grain at 24 c/c be adequate for 70 psf flatwise bending. Dry use and permanent duration of load.
Hint: Find Grade Stress Level from Table 11-1[See description for Exterior, second
row], and Fb; apply factors to obtain Fb. Use 11-4A (Sanded) for KS. Each 8-ft long panel is supported continuously along 4-spans, for Mmax computation (Table 8-A in Notes) and fb [Note: The load, w, is for 1-ft width].
