Question: : In Problems 6 . 1 through 6 . 5 , Determine the adjusted reference design values and the strength capacities for the following members.

: In Problems 6.1 through 6.5, Determine the adjusted reference design values and the strength
capacities for the following members. In all cases, consider the dry-service conditions, the normal
temperature range, and the no-incision application. In practice, all loading combinations must be
checked. However, in these problems only a single load condition should be considered for each
member, as indicated in the problem.
6.1 Floor joists are 2 in.\times 6 in. at 18 in. on center (OC) of Douglas Fir-Larch #2. They support
the dead and live loads.
6.2 Roof rafters are 2 in.\times 8 in. at 24 in. OC of Southern Pine #2. The loads are dead load and
roof live load.
6.3 Five floor beams are of 4 in.\times 8 in. dimension lumber Hem Fir #1, spaced 5 ft apart.
The loads are dead and live loads.
6.4 Studs are 2 in.\times 8 in. at 20 in. OC of Hem Fir #2. The loads are dead load, live load, and
wind load.
