Lesson 4 Assessment

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.
