FOREWORDThis document is intended to aid instruction in structural design of wood structures using both Allowable Stress Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD). It contains design examples and complete solutions calculated using ASD and LRFD. Solutions have been developed based on the 2015 and 2018 National Design Specification®(NDS®) for Wood Construction, and the 2015 Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic (SDPWS), as appropriate. References are also made to the 2015 and 2018 Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) for One- and Two- Family Dwellings. Copies of these standards produced by the American Wood Council can be obtained at www.awc.org/codes-standards/publications. Procedures will be applicable for both 2015 and 2018 versions of the NDS and WFCM, unless otherwise noted. Example problems range from

simple to complex and cover many design scenarios. In the solutions where a particular provision of the NDS or SDPWS is cited, reference is made to the document and corresponding provision number, e.g. NDS 4.3.1. It is intended that this document be used in conjunction with competent engineering design, accurate fabrication, and adequate supervision of construction. Neither the American Wood Council, the International Code Council, nor their members assume any responsibility for errors or omissions in this document, nor for engineering designs, plans, or construction prepared from it. Those using this document assume all liability arising from its use. The design of engineered structures is within the scope of expertise of licensed engineers, architects, or other licensed professionals for applications to a particular structure.

Solutions have been developed using the MathCAD® 15 software by PTC (https://www.ptc.com/). Some formatting is the result of the program layout, for example the use of “:=” denotes an assigned value, while an “=” denotes a calculated value. Examples may contain notes or comments for instances where program constraints have led to the use of non-standardized terms or subscripts.

Determine Maximum Hoist Load P

Maximum hoist load P is determined from subtracting moment due to beam weight from the maximum total momentallowed on the beam and solving for hoist load P. Load P creates a moment on beam length L of PL/4. Assumedensity of beam material is 37.5 lbs/ft3 (110% of tabulated of the specific gravity G for Southern Pine).

AMERICAN WOOD COUNCIL

1.3 GLUED LAMINATED TIMBER BEAM DESIGN (ASD) 22

A 3-1/8 wide purlin hanger is adequate. Note: The compression perpendicular to grain design value F' ⊥c can beincreased by the bearing area factor Cb (5.3.12). For 3 inch bearing the factor is:

lb 3 in Cblb 0.375 in

lb Cb 1.125

1Cb

whanger 2.735 in

Using the bearing factor Cb confirms that a 3 inch wide hanger across the beam would be adequate.

At this stage of the calculations, the span of the beam can be reviewed. The 32 foot span was based on thecenter to center distance between supports. The length of the span used in design is the face to face distanceplus 1/2 of the required bearing length at the ends (3.2.1).

In the example, the face to face distance is 32 ft minus 6 inches or 31.5 feet. At the end of the beam the requiredbearing distance is 12,998 lbs/(5 inches * 650 psi) or 4 inches. At the interior face, half the purlin load is assumedto be transferred to the beam end. Required length in bearing is (2500 lbs + 7500 lbs + 488 lbs)/5 inches * 650psi) or 3.25 inches. The two required bearing lengths and the face to face distance produces a span of 31.5 ft +1/2 (4.00/12) + 1/2 (3.25/12) or 31.8 feet which 99.4% of the center to center span. The shorter span reducesmoments and bending stresses by 1.25%. The reduction is considered insufficient to allow the use of the nextsmaller beam.

Deflection

The specification does not include specific deflection limits for roofs. In some applications, deflections may be criticaland the designer may wish to limit deflections. For this example, a deflection limit of L/240 has been selected.

Dead load deflection is usually calculated to determine the desired camber of the beam. The recommended camber isusually 150% of the dead load deflection. Deflection for the 5000 lb concentrated loads and the beam weight is:

1.9 Loadbearing Wall Wood Stud Resisting Wind and Gravity Loads

E1.9 - Loadbearing Wall Wood Stud Resisting Wind and Gravity LoadsBackground: The 2 story home considered in the Design of Wood Frame Buildings for High Wind, Snow, and SeismicLoads (WFCM Workbook) has a Foyer with a vaulted ceiling. The south bearing wall of the Foyer must support gravityloads from the roof and attic above, must resist reactions from uplift wind forces on the roof and must resistout-of-plane wind pressures. The home is located in an area with a basic wind speed of 160 mph - Exposure B. The Foyer originally had a 4 foot wide plant shelf at the second floor level. The plant shelf was platform framed as partof the floor diaphragm and limited stud length to one story. The resulting configuration was within the limitations of theprescriptive provisions of the Wood Frame Construction Manual (WFCM) and the wall framing could be determinedfrom Chapter 3 of the WFCM.

Removing the plant shelf requires the wall to be balloon framed and will increase the stud lengths to 19 feet wherethey are no longer within the limitations of the prescriptive provisions of the WFCM.

Goal: Determine requirements for studs that are balloon framed from the first floor to the roof.Approach: Analyze wall framing as part of the Main Wind Force Resisting System (MWFRS) exposed to in-planeand out-of-plane load combinations specified by ASCE 7 Minimum Design Loads for Buildings and Other Structures.Analyze wall framing as Components and Cladding (C&C) exposed to out of plane C&C wind pressures only. Designwall framing per the National Design Specification (NDS) for Wood Construction.

In this example, the following loads are assumed:

Roof Loads Attic/Ceiling

Dead Load 10 psf Dead Load 15 psfLive Load 20 psf Attic Live Load 30 psfGround Snow Load 30 psfRain & Earthquake effects not considered in the analyses

Additionally, the following design assumptions apply:

Stud spacing = 16" o.c.Exterior Sheathing = Wood Structural PanelsInterior Sheathing = 1/2" Gypsum Wallboard

The analysis involves an iterative approach. Initial values areselected for the member properties (depth, number of membersand their species group and grade); initial analyses are completedand stresses and deflections determined and compared toallowable values. The member properties are then varied andanalyses repeated until stress and deflection criteria are satisfied.

Note: As stated in the Foreword, examples are applicable to boththe 2015 and 2018 versions of the NDS and WFCM unlessotherwise noted. This example also references ASCE 7 and isapplicable to both the 2010 and 2016 versions. Where section,figure, and table designations vary between the two versions ofASCE 7, they are noted. Reference to the International BuildingCode (IBC) is also applicable to the 2015 and 2018 versions.

Calculate MWFRS Wind Loads

MWFRS Wind Pressures are calculated using the Envelope Procedure contained in Chapter 28 of ASCE 7. Thewind pressure equation is:

p = qh[(GCpf)-(GCpi)] (ASCE 7-10 Eq. 28.4-1 or ASCE 7-16 Eq. 28.3-1)

Where: qh is the velocity pressureGCpf is the external pressure coefficient for the surface being analyzed andGCpi is the internal pressure coefficient

Determine Velocity Pressure qh Note: The 160 Exp B velocity pressures qh in theWFCM is 24.06 psf and is based on a 33 ft MRHwhere the velocity pressure exposure coefficient Kz forExp B is 0.72.

Kz for Exp B evaluated at 25 ft MRH in this example is0.70 per ASCE 7-10 Table 28.3.1(ASCE 7-16 Table26.10-1) and produces a slightly lower velocitypressure of 23.4 psf.

The 0.60 factor in the velocity pressure equationincorporates ASCE 7 load factors for allowable stressdesign (ASD) load combinations

1.9 LOADBEARING WALL WOOD STUD RESISTING WIND AND GRAVITY LOADS60

Determine Wind Load Reactions

Reactions at the top of the bearing wall are determined by summing overturning moments about the top of leewardwall for both load cases and determining the controlling reaction to use in the design. Horizontal projections areused in the analysis.

Note: The component of the overturning moment that results from wind pressures on the leeward roof overhang wasnot considered because: (1) it has a short (1 ft) moment arm and (2) the uplift pressures on the overhang occurdownwind of the leeward wall and reduce the net overturning moment reaction slightly. This approach providesslightly conservative results.

Note: The uplift reaction on the windward wall can be determined from WFCM Table 2.2A by interpolating the upliftconnection loads between the 24 and 36 foot roof spans for the 0 psf roof/ceiling dead load and multiplying the upliftby 0.75 to account for the wall framing not being located in an exterior zone (footnote 1). That approach produces anuplift reaction of 391 plf which is higher than the results of these calculations. The higher reactions result primarilybecause uplift values in Table 2.2A are based on the worst case (20o) roof slope. The velocity pressure beingcalculated at 33 ft instead of 25 ft also contributes to slightly higher values.
