Question: Q 4 . Do calculations to check whether the SG 8 timber studs on gridline A , illustrated in Figure 8 , with nominal section

Q4. Do calculations to check whether the SG8 timber studs on gridline A, illustrated in Figure 8, with nominal section size 150mm x 50mm (these are rough sawn dimensions and once dried, assume section size is 140mm x 45mm) are able to sustain ULS loads due to 1.2G+Wu+\Psi cQ of N*=4kN in compression and M*=0.6kNm. Report the critical ratio of demand (due to combined actions) to capacity (see Equations 3.27 & 3.28 in reader). For the column end restraint conditions, treat as studs in light framing(refer Table 3.1 of reader).
