Given: The single-story wood-frame building in Fig. 10.A. The transverse lateral wind force (not shown in the sketch) is 375 lb/ft. The dead load of the roof and the wall is 250 lb/ft along the wall. Texture 1-11 (Sec. 8.13) plywood siding is applied directly to studs spaced 16-in o.c.

Find: a. Unit shear in the roof diaphragm and in the shearwalls along lines A and B.

b. The required nailing for the plywood siding to function as a shear segment. Use galvanized casing nails. Show all criteria. Check the proportions of the shear segment.

c. The net design uplift force at the base of the shear segment chords.
