Answer:
Total BF for the interior wall is 7.50BD
Step-by-step explanation:
Given Data:
· Size of stud = 2” x 6”
· Height of Wall = 8 ft
· Top plates = 2
· Bottom Plate = 1
BF stands for board feet in lumber/wood terminology. It is the unit of volume.
1 BF (Board feet) = 1 ft x 1 ft x 1 inch
Since there are total three plates at top and bottom, we have to deduct their thickness from wall height to calculate height of stud.
Height of stud = 8’ – 3 x 2” = 7’6” = 7.5 ft
Board feet of one stud = 7.50 6/12 x 2 = 7.50 BD
Total BF for the interior wall is 7.50BD
