$($Continuous foundation$)$

$($Inter$$or spread toot$$ng$)$

A simple light$-$framed wood building is subjected to the load conditions as specified.

Along rafter length:

Roof pitch: $9$:$12$

Dead load $($roofing $+$ sheathing $+$ ceiling $+$ rafters$)=20$ psf

Live load $($snow$)=40$ psf

Ridge beam spans $16$ feet from column support to column support

Please round to the nearest one$-$tenth $($i$.$e$.,0\mathrm{.}1).$

Determine the equivalent $($horizontally projected$)$ total load on the rafters $=$ Answer $1$ Question $1$

lb$/$ft

Determine the load per foot on the bearing wall $($at the bottom$),$ including the wall weight $($wall dead load $=7$ psf and wall height, H $=8$ ft$)=$ Answer $2$ Question $1$

lb$/$ft

Determine the load per foot on the ridge beam $=$ Answer $3$ Question $1$

lb$/$ft

Determine the load on the Interior column $=$ Answer $4$ Question $1$

lb

Floor load conditions:

Floor dead load $($flooring $+$ subfloor $+$ joists$)=20$ psf

Live load $($occupancy$)=50$ psf

Determine the floor joist reactions into load per foot on the continuous foundation $($one side$)=$ Answer $5$ Question $1$

lb$/$ft

Determine the floor joist reactions into load per foot on the floor beam $=$ Answer $6$ Question $1$

lb$/$ft

Foundation conditions:

Continuous foundation's stem wall is $8$ inch thick and $2$ ft tall

Footing base is $8$ inch thick

Concrete density $=150$ pcf

Soil bearing capacity $=1200$ psf

Determine the minimum theoretical width of the continuous foundation $=$ Answer $7$ Question $1$

ft $($Round to the nearest tenth!$)$

Determine the minimum theoretical width of the interior spread footing for the critical center column $=$ Answer $8$ Question $1$

ft $($Round to the nearest tenth!$)$
