Problem $2.$

A floor system is supported by wood joists spaced at $16"$ on center. Answer the following questions:

a$)$ Consider the plywood sheathing is $\frac{5}{8}"$ thick and has a unit weight of $35$ pcf$.$ What is the dead load

due to sheathing.

b$)$ Given your answer in part a$,$ and an additional $6$ psf for framing self$-$weight and $5$ psf for

miscellaneous dead loads, what is the total dead load in psf$?$

c$)$ What is the uniformly distributed dead load on each joist.

d$)$ Given that this area is a residential space, using the ASCE $7$ table attached, what live load should

this be designed for $($in psf$)?$

e$)$ What is the uniformly distributed live load on each joist?

f$)$ Given that the joists are subjected to the distributed loads calculated in parts c and e$,$ what is the

maximum uniform distributed load on the joists based on ASD load combos.
