Question: QUESTION 1 Below shown three - story building is constructed with ( 3 8 times 2 3 5 mathrm { ~mm }

QUESTION 1
Below shown three-story building is constructed with \(38\times 235\mathrm{~mm}\) solid sawn floor joists on all storeys, and \(38\times 140\mathrm{~mm}\) SPF No1/No2 bottom and top plates. The third and second-storey walls have double top plates and single bottom plates, and the first storey has a double top plate and a sill plate. You are asked to reasonably anticipate the total shrinkage of the building one year after construction when the wood EMC is at \(8\%\) and if the builder used wood stamped. Calculate the shrinkage when ;
1. S-GREEN and a technician using a moisture meter measured MC up to \(38\%\) in a pile of wood;
2. S-DRY Condition
3.\(\mathrm{MC}-15\%\)
- Do you have recommendations to give to the builder? If so, what are they?
Note: Use the Dimensional Change equation provided in the manual and consider changes in all three primary directions. Assume the FSP is 28\%(following the same solution we did in the class example).
