Difficulty Level: 2/5
Estimated Time to Complete: 15 minutes
Problem Statement: CLT Design
The goal of this assignment is to determine the minimum thickness required for a CLT bearing wall subjected to concentrically applied dead and snow loads.
Given Data:
- CLT Type & [Grade]: S-P-F [E1]
- Wall height: 4.5 m
- Specified Dead Load: 50 kN/m
- Specified Snow Load: 100 kN/m
- Assume that the wall is pinned at both ends
- Service Condition: Dry
- Untreated Lumber
Design Requirement:
Use the software to find the minimum thickness of a CLT bearing wall that meets ULS requirements under dead and snow loads specified above.
Select the most appropriate answer based on the software output and standard design requirements.
