Repeat Prob. 8.4 except that the plywood is oriented in the weak direction.

Prob. 8.4

Plywood panels (4 ft
 8 ft) of 5-ply construction (similar to that shown in Fig. 8A) are used to span between roof joists that are spaced 16 in. o.c.

Find:

a. Sketch a plan view of the framing and the plywood, showing the plywood oriented in the strong direction.

b. Sketch a 1-ft-wide cross section of the sheathing. Shade the plies that are effective in supporting the “sheathing” loads.
