Hi Everybody,
I am designing a deck w/ a 4000 lbf jacuzzi & 210 psf snow load. I end up having that each joist (@16" o.c.) bears on the 4x ledger (w/ hanger) with a total load of 1500 lbf. I want to use lags to connect the ledger to the 2x6 studs in the wall. Using the NDS ASD Table 11J (&...
Based on the gravity loads (Dead = 25 psf, Live = 16 psf, and Snow = 150 psf) and truss spacing = 16" o.c., the roof sheathing has to be 5/8" Str. 1 OSB.
I have determined the shear demand for the roof diaphragm (when determining the seismic shear loading, the snow load can be reduced by a...
I am trying to determine the drift loading for an attached deck, but my numbers using the UBC 97 Appendix 16 equations seem very high.
Site info:
Pg = 230 psf
Pf = 161 psf
Wb = 30 ft
Width of deck = 10 ft
hr = 8.5 ft (the deck is up against a gable wall with eave height = 8.5 ft & ridge height...
I am working on retrofitting the gable wall of an existing structure. It has a steep roof (11:12) and openings in the gable wall (windows, etc.). How do I determine the available amount of shear wall for the second story? Do I only include the sections with full height, or do I take an average...
OK, I know that there have been many similar threads, but I still do not think they answer my questions...
I need to design a foundation for a water tank with the following info:
Volume = 8000 gal
Height = 20 ft
Diameter = 9 ft
Flat bottomed tank w/ 6 anchors
Soil bearing capacity = 2000 psf...
