Wind Load Design

ASCE 7-10, Wind Speed 115 mph, Exposure category B

Wind Pressure 24.46 psf

Uniform Wind load of 220.14 lb/ft at roof.

Diaphragm dimension= 20 X 12

Designed based on SDPWS

Diaphragm and Shear Wall design with Chord member design and Deflection check

Diaphragm Design

Reaction at ends = R = 2201.4 lb

Shear at Diaphragm = v= 183.45 plf

Tension = Compression in Chord = 5504 lb

Selected wood structural panel using table 4.2A designed as

Blocked from SDPWS.

Selected 5/16” nominal panel thickness of structural grade 1.

6d nail size with nail spacing at diaphragm and nail spacing at

other panel edges to be 6in.

From Table 4.2A, Allowable shear = 295 plf > Shear at

Diaphragm = v= 183.45 plf. OK

Chord Design

Max moment= 11007 lb-ft.

Tension = Compression in Chord = 5504 lb

Assume two No 2, 2X6 Southern Pine dimensional lumber as chord members

Allowable Tension = 10890 lb > 5504 lb, OK

Allowable Compression = 7474 lb > 5504 lb, OK

Deflection Checked as per 4.2.2 of SDPWS

Calculated deflection = 0.176 < Allowable deflection = .45in, OK

Shear Wall Design

Unit Shear at Shear wall= v= 183.45 plf

Designed as per Section 4.3 for SDPWS.

Shear wall in N-S direction does not have any opening in our

case.

Selected wood structural panel using table 4.3A Wood Based

panels from SDPWS.

Used 5/16” nominal panel thickness- Structural 1 grade.

6d nail size and, min fastener penetration in framing member

to be 1-1/4 with panel edge fastener spacing to be 6 in.

Allowable shear = 280 plf > Shear at Diaphragm = v= 183.45

plf. OK

Shear Wall Design

Moment at base= 33021 lb-ft.

Tension = Compression in Chord = 2751 lb

Assume No 2, 2X6 Southern Pine dimensional lumber as chord members

Allowable Tension = 10890 lb > 2751 lb, OK

Allowable Compression = 3835 lb > 2751 lb, OK

Deflection Checked as per 4.3.2 of SDPWS

Calculated deflection = 0.41 < Allowable deflection = .45in, OK
