Question

The interior wall of a building is made from 2×4 wood studs, plastered on one side. If the wall is 13 ft high, determine the load in lb/ft of length of wall that it exerts on the floor

Answer 1

load = 156 lb/ft

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

interior wall of a building = 2×4 wood studs

plastered = 1 side

wall height = 13 ft

solution

we get here load so first we get wood stud load and that is

we know here from ASCE-7 norm

dead load of 2 x 4 wood studs with 1 side plaster = 12 psf

and we have given height 13 ft

so load will be = 12 psf × 13 ft

load = 156 lb/ft
