    FINAL EXAMINATION IN TIMBER DESIGN (Pandemic Edition)

    1. A 50 x 200mm sawn lumber is considered for use as the bottom chord of a roof truss 3.65m between panel
    points. The chord will be subject to a uniform dead load of 0.38 kPa as well as tension forces of 3.9 kN roof
    wind loads, 3.9 kN roof live load and 6.3 kN from dead loads. Trusses are to be spaced 1.20 m apart.
    Framing will have a 19% maximum moisture content. Check the adequacy of the bottom chord member for
    bending and tension for the appropriate load cases 1 and 5. Use Fb = 5.86 MPa, E = 8275 MPa, Emin = 3034
    MPa, and Ft = 3.62 MPa. Joints are considered pinned.
    Load Cases (NSCP 2015 Section 203.4.1)
    1. D + F → D
    2. D + H + F + L + T → D
    3. D + H + F + (Lr or R) → D + Lr
    4. D + H + F + 0.75(L + T(Lr or R)) → D + 0.75L
    5. D + H + F + (0.6W or E/1.4) → D + 0.6W

    2. A 50 x 100mm sawn lumber oriented flatwise is being considered for use as a member within the top chord
    of a parallel chord gable end truss. The member is 0.90m long and will be subjected to axial compression
    forces of 1335 N dead load and 2670 N live load, concentrated loads of 222.5 N dead load and 445 N live
    load at the midpoint of the member on its wide face, and 534 N wind load on the midpoint of the member on
    its narrow face. Lateral Support is only provided at the ends of the member and the ends are considered
    pinned. Check the adequacy of the beam-column for bending and compression for the appropriate load
    cases.
    Use Fb = 7.60 MPa, Emin = 3517 MPa, FC = 10 MPa.

    3. Timber purlins spaced 1.30m on centers are used in a roof inclined 30o with the horizontal. Spacing of
    trusses is 4.6m. Dressed dimensions of the purlins are 90.5mm x 187.5mm. Weight of roofing is 120 Pa,
    weight of purlins is 7.5 kN/m3. Wind load is 1.055 kPa normal to the roof surface. E = 11058 MPa. Compute
    the maximum bending stress of the purlins. Compute the maximum shearing stress and the total vertical
    deflection.

    4. Rafter spacing = 2.0 m on center


    Rafter horizontal span is 3.66 m (actual sloped span is 4.40 m)
    Inclination of rafter, θ = 39.75o
    Allowable Deflection due to Gravity Loads = L/180 = 4400 mm/180 = 24.44 mm
    Design Loads:
    Dead load = 280 Pa (Weight of roofing + purlins)
    Live load = 770 Pa
    Wind load = 1055 Pa
    Determine the safe nominal size of the rafter.

    5. Design member DJ and AB of the truss shown below.


    Properties of 80% Stress Grade Apitong
    Fb = 16.5 MPa Fv = 1.73 MPa E = 7310 MPa Fc = 9.56 MPa
    6. If FC’ = 7.8 MPa and F’C┴ = 2.62 MPa, compute the following using Hankinson’s Formula:

    a. Depth of dap
    b. Actual compressive stress on AB
    c. Allowable compressive stress on AB
    d. Actual compressive stress on BC
    e. Allowable compressive stress on BC

    7. The peak joint of a truss shown below has a tension steel rod subjected to an 12 kN tension force and
    being secured by a threaded end with nut and washers. The top chord is made up of Bayok having
    allowable compressive strength parallel and perpendicular to grain equal to 5.78 MPa and 1.03 MPa
    respectively. The steel has a tensile strength of 148.8 MPa. The value of θ is 20.56o. The allowable flexural
    stress of the steel washer is 124.0 MPa. Use Jacoby’s Formula. Dn = Ørod + 3mm.
    a. Determine the minimum diameter of steel rod.
    b. Compute the allowable compressive stress at section AB.
    c. Determine the minimum size of washer (thickness and side dimension of a square washer)

    8. A bolted wooden fish plate made of Yakal is joined by 9 pieces of 25mmØ bolts. Assuming diameter of
    holes to be 2mm larger than the bolt diameter, determine the capacity (T) of the joint.

    9. Determine the required number of 150mm nails for a withdrawal load of 20.8 kN. Determine the vertical
    load P that the nails can carry. Joint carry dead and wind loads only.

    10. Determine the required diameter of bolt for the connection shown below. Use group II wood species.
