A 2x6 member in a horizontal diaphragm resists a tension force of 10 kip caused by lateral
Question:
A 2x6 member in a horizontal diaphragm resists a tension force of 10 kip caused by lateral wind pressure. A single line of 7/8-in diameter bolts is used to make the connection of the member to the diaphragm. Will this member be adequate to support the applied tensile load? Assume a dry service condition and normal temperature.
Check two situations: 1) Lumber is Select-Structural Northern Red Oak 2) Lumber is No1 dense Southern Pine
2) Find the required size member of No 2 Red Maple to support a tensile force of 6000 lb that is due to a combination of dead and construction loads. Assume a dry service condition and normal temperature. The member is connected in a way that does not produce a reduction in the area;
