Problem 1: Design the ground floor exterior stud wall for the two-story building with the roof
and floor plans shown in the figure. The floor-to-floor height is 10ft and the wall studs are
spaced at 2ft o.c. Assume DF-L wood species and the design loads shown.
Given: D=1440lb;S=1440lb;L=640lb;wwind=30lbft.
Check load combination: D+0.75(L+S+0.6W)
Wall dead load =10 pst
Unfactored wind load (0.6W)=15 psf
Floor plan:
Dead load =20 pir
Live load =40 psf
