Question $2(29$ points$)$

Consider a single$-$story wood building located in Houston, Texas $($Figure $2).$ Design the sawn lumber column Cl with ASD using a dead load of $20$ psf $,$ reduced roof live load of $20$ psf $,$ and vertical wind loading.

Material is Dense No$.1$ Douglas Fir$-$Larch. Consider dry$-$service and normal temperature conditions and that incising is needed for wood treatment.

$\backslash (>\backslash )$ Consider that nails are used in the connections, and the column height is $16$ ft with knee braces at mid$-$height in both directions. Hint: there is no sidesway and the effective buckling length is the longest distance between the end of the column and the knee brace location.
