Question: Determine the nominal and adjusted design values for a 2 x 1 0 @ 1 6 o . c . timber member SPF No .

Determine the nominal and adjusted design values for a 2x10 @ 16 o.c. timber member SPF No.1/No.2. This member is a roof rafter spanning 10-0. Bending and shear loads will be about the strong axis of the cross section. Bracing will be provided by a (1)/(2) thick plywood sheathing nailed to the rafters. There is no blocking in between rafters. Buckling is not a concern. Consider dry service conditions and normal temperatures. The controlling load combination would be 1.2D+1.6(Lr or S or R)+(L or 0.5W) for LRFD and D+0.75L+0.75(0.6W)+0.75(Lr or S or R) for ASD.
What would be the Load Duration Factor?
