Question: Find the allowable compression load on a 6 - inch - wide plywood gusset plate, if the stress is at 2 5 degrees to the

Find the allowable compression load on a 6-inch-wide plywood gusset plate, if the stress is at 25 degrees to the direction of the face grain, for wet conditions of use. The plate is (1)/(2) inch thick. Exterior APA Rated Sheathing, Species Group 4.
Hint: Table 11-1 for Grade Stress Level; Table 11-3 for Fc; Allowable compression
force, C, at 45o [See notes p 6/10 about Fc and adjustment for Gross Area]; Using
area of parallel plies (in2/ft) from Table 11-4, find allowable C at 0o; Then,
interpolate for value at 25o (which is for panels of 24 or more), and use Cs factor to find the final allowable C.
