WEEK 5 - HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT 1. Draw the following wood members in cross-section and provide their actual overall dimensions: (a) 10, (b) three 2 x 10 nailed together, (d) three 2 x 10 nailed together with 1/2 in. thick intervening plywood. Use a straight edge and draw all to roughly the same scale. Show actual dimensions for each member. 2. How much would it cost to purchase 320, 16 ft long 2x12s at a cost of $1,500 per MFB? Board feet: 1 6ft x 12in/(12in/ft) x 12in= 192 BF 320 boards x 192bf/p= 6, 144= 61 .4 Total cost: $1 ,500 x 61.4 mfb= $92,100. 3. Your intern has specified the following grades for various sizes of lumber for a project. Determine if you would be able to obtain the lumber as specified. Lumber Grade Yes/ NO 2x8 Construction No 2x3 Standard Yes Stud Yes Christopher Waldron, All rights reserved
No. 2 No No. I No Select Structural No 2x2 No. 4 No 4. Give your recommendations for the type of (manufactured) wood product and its exposure rating as necessary for the following components of a typical wood frame building: a. wall sheathing: recommended OSB with an exposure rating of 1. b. floor sheathing: recommended the plywood with a exposure rating of 1. Christopher Waldron, All rights reserved
(c) roof sheathing: recommended OSB with an exposure rating of 1 or the use of plywood with an exposure rating of 1. 5. The following drawing shows the detail of an outdoor wood deck. (a) Complete the detail by using appropriate graphic symbols for the finished grade and each wood member. Also provide the missing dimensions (red ?s). Graphic symbols for various types of wood members are found in your textbook in Fig. 13.27. An appropriate graphic symbol for finished grade (ground) can be found in many figures in the textbook like Fig. 13.43 and 13.44. Christopher Waldron, All rights reserved

Concrete footing Finished grade (b) What type of lumber (species, grade, treatment) would you specify for: Decking? The use of softwood (pressure-treated) can be used. The use of redwood can be included. Aesthetics is preferred (No. 1) Guard Rail Verticals? The use of softwood (pressure-treated) can be used. The use of redwood can be included. Aesthetics is preferred (No. 1). (iii) Joists? The use of softwood (pressure-treated) can be used. The use of redwood can be included. Band boards (iv) Beam? The use of softwood (pressure-treated) can be used, or the use of SYP. (c) If you were to replace the beam with a glulam, would you recommend a balanced or unbalanced beam, knowing that the beam is 12 feet long and supported by posts spaced at 6 ft? Explain.

I would recommend great support for a beam that is 16 feet long at 6ft. Because when a continuous beam is installed, a the use of a balance beam is needed to reduce any tension caused by service loads. Christopher Waldron, All rights reserved
