Question: Design the shearwalls shown below for wind loading under the following conditions: two storey office building framed with S - P - F lumber studs

Design the shearwalls shown below for wind loading under the following conditions: two storey office building framed with S-P-F lumber studs spaced at 400 mm OSB wall sheathing is applied directly to the studs dry service conditions factored roof diaphragm force acting on the shearwall =30 kN factored floor diaphragm force acting on the shearwall =40 kN roof and floor framing parallel to the wall walls do not support any roof loads (q2=0 kN/m) walls support a factored floor dead load of 0.5 kN/m (including a 0.9)(q1=0.5 kN/m) walls are 3 m high with a specified dead load of 0.33 kPa depth of the roof and floor framing is 0.3 m
