A Word About Wall Framing

Architects are raising the roof and stretching walls beyond limitations are imposed on the load capacity of the studs. For the reach of conventional lumber. LP® SolidStart® LSL and both prescriptive and engineered wall systems, mineral wool LVL studs redefine the standard for wall framing by providing insulation is required in the wall cavity. Please refer to ICC-ES structural walls that can be straighter, taller and stronger for evaluation report ESR-2403 and APA product report PR-L280 for both conventional and challenging engineered applications. complete information on the use of LP SolidStart LSL and LVL in Because LP manufactures its LSL and LVL to the highest fire-resistance-rated walls, or use LP’s Wood-E Design software. standards, builders know that they’ll get fewer callbacks and save themselves time and money. ENGINEERED DESIGN CONSTRUCTION Where traditional lumber studs warp, bow and twist as they In engineered design, calculations based on the expected dry, LP SolidStart LSL and LVL won’t because they start dry from in-service loads are performed to ensure that the allowable the mill. Having straight walls gives home-owners the peace of capacities of the wall members are not exceeded. mind that their cabinets will stay flush to the wall, their tile and Notches and holes in LP SolidStart LSL and LVL wall framing drywall is less likely to crack and their windows and doors will are permitted when designed in accordance with the provisions of function properly. That’s performance you can count on. the National Design Specification for Wood Construction (NDS), Using this technical guide, LP SolidStart LSL and LVL can be with additional adjustments as prescribed herein. The wall stud specified for use in conventional (prescriptive) and engineered and exterior wall column tables in this guide include the effects wood-frame wall construction. of notches and holes on their capacity. Refer to Drilling & Notching on page 4 for the limitations of notch and hole size and location. CONVENTIONAL CONSTRUCTION Conventional construction provisions for wood-frame walls DEFLECTION LIMITS are included in the International Building Code (IBC) and the Like floor and roof systems, walls are subject to code- International Residential Code (IRC). In conventional construction, prescribed deflection limits as well as industry recommendations. wall members and their connections are selected from tables in The IBC prescribes a deflection ratio limit of L/240 for walls the Code rather than being calculated, as in engineered design. with brittle finishes and L/120 for walls with flexible finishes. LP’s compliance with the ICC Evaluation Service’s Acceptance The IRC prescribes the additional ratio of L/360 for walls with Criteria for Wood-Based Studs (AC202) permits LP SolidStart LSL stucco or plaster. Additional deflection limits are recommended and LVL to be a direct substitution to traditional lumber studs for certain windows and wall finishes like brick. Always verify prescribed in Section 2308.9 of the IBC and Section R602 of the IRC. the requirements, but the following table summarizes common Compliance with AC202 also demonstrates equivalence to deflection limits. the notching provisions prescribed in the Code for traditional lumber studs in conventional construction.

These tables are limited to structures with a mean roof height of 30'. 2. The vertical load capacity is valid for wall columns supporting roof and floor loads. The design dead load shall not exceed design live load. 3. The vertical capacity has been reduced to allow for holes and notches. Refer to the Drilling & Notching guidelines on page 4 for more information. 4. The vertical load capacity assumes an eccentricity of 1/6 of the wall thickness. 5. The design wind pressures are based on Method 2 (Analytical Procedure) from ASCE 7-05 for components and cladding (wall zone 4), for an enclosed, occupancy category II structure (importance factor, I = 1.00) with no wind speed-up associated with abrupt changes in local topography (topographic factor, Kzt = 1.00). The wind pressures for deflection have been adjusted to approximate the main wind force resisting loads as specified in ASCE 7-05.

6. A load duration adjustment, CD = 1.60, has been applied for wind. 7. No repetitive member increase has been applied. 8. Full-width blocking is assumed to be installed at 8' on-center or less. 9. Design for a Single 1-1/2" wall column also requires continuous, full-length lateral support through connection to the exterior wall sheathing and interior gypsum wall board. 10. The tabulated capacities have been limited by the bearing capacity of LP SolidStart LSL or LVL as the wall plate (440 psi). For plates with a lower bearing capacity, the designer shall check the required vertical load against the bearing capacity for the plate and increase the column size accordingly.

These tables are limited to structures with a mean roof height of 30'. 2. The vertical load capacity is valid for wall columns supporting roof and floor loads. The design dead load shall not exceed design live load. 3. The vertical capacity has been reduced to allow for holes and notches. Refer to the Drilling & Notching guidelines on page 4 for more information. 4. The vertical load capacity assumes an eccentricity of 1/6 of the wall thickness. 5. The design wind pressures are based on Method 2 (Analytical Procedure) from ASCE 7-05 for components and cladding (wall zone 4), for an enclosed, occupancy category II structure (importance factor, I = 1.00) with no wind speed-up associated with abrupt changes in local topography (topographic factor, Kzt = 1.00). The wind pressures for deflection have been adjusted to approximate the main wind force resisting loads as specified in ASCE 7-05.

6. A load duration adjustment, CD = 1.60, has been applied for wind. 7. No repetitive member increase has been applied. 8. Full-width blocking is assumed to be installed at 8' on-center or less. 9. Design for a Single 1-1/2" wall column also requires continuous, full-length lateral support through connection to the exterior wall sheathing and interior gypsum wall board. 10. The tabulated capacities have been limited by the bearing capacity of LP SolidStart LSL or LVL as the wall plate (440 psi). For plates with a lower bearing capacity, the designer shall check the required vertical load against the bearing capacity for the plate and increase the column size accordingly. Refer to the Bearing Capacity table on page 4 for the common species of Hem-Fir and SPF. No increase is allowed without complete analysis of the vertical capacity of the column. 7 Exterior Wall Column Capacity (lbs): 2x8 Walls for 90 mph, Exposure B

TO USE: 1. Determine the height of the column. If not listed, use the next tallest Height in the table. 2. Determine the Tributary Width of the wall associated with the horizontal wind pressure supported by the column. If not listed, use the next largest Tributary Width. 3. Select the LP® SolidStart® LSL or LVL grade and size where the Vertical Load Capacity and Deflection Ratio meet or exceed the applied vertical load and required deflection limit. 4. Verify the plate bearing capacity for the selected column. See Design Assumption 10 below.

TYPICAL WALL STUD EXAMPLE

HOW TO SIZE: Uniform Load 1. Determine the Basic Wind Speed. 2. Determine the Exposure Category. 3. Determine the clear height of the wall stud. 4. Determine the total vertical load (plf) applied to the wall studs from the roof and floor. Don't forget the wall weight! 5. Determine the allowable deflection ratio based on the wall construction. 6. Select the required grade and size from the appropriate chart for the desired wall stud spacing.

EXAMPLE: Select a suitable wall stud for a 9' first story wall for a residential structure located in a typical urban development in the central midwest. The wall supports the second floor and the roof of a 36' wide home. The second floor is supported at midspan and the roof trusses have a 1' overhang. The floor loads are 40 psf Live and 15 psf Dead load. The roof loads are 30 psf Snow (115%) and 17 psf Dead. Assume 100 plf for the weight of the second story wall. The exterior wall finish is stucco.

Stud Height Stud SOLUTION: 1. The example states the structure is located in the midwest which, from the maps in the IBC, is normally considered a 90 mph Basic Wind Speed. 2. A typical urban development is normally an exposure B category provided that other structures of single-family size or larger are located in close proximity in all directions. 3. Use the height of the wall (9') as an approximation of the stud height. 4. The vertical load applied to each wall stud is: Roof: (30 psf + 17 psf) * (36' / 2 + 1') = 798 plf Wall: 100 plf Floor: (40 psf + 15 psf) * (18' / 2) = 495 plf Total Vertical Load = 893 + 100 + 495 = 1488 plf 5. With a stucco finish, the deflection ratio shall be L/360 or better. 6. Using the 90 mph, Exposure B chart from the Wall Stud Capacity tables, for a standard wall stud spacing of 16" oc, select: 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" 1.35E LP® SolidStart® LSL at 16" oc can support a vertical load of 1720 plf 16" oc with a deflection ratio of L/375.

Floor: 495 plf (from Typical Wall Stud example) Total Vertical Load = 1488 plf * (16" / 12) / 2 = 992 lbs Total Vertical Load on Trimmer = (893 + 17 + 495) * 19.5" / 12 = 2283 lbs 4. As in the typical wall stud example, use a deflection ratio of L/360 for stucco. 4. Using the 90 mph, Exposure B chart from the Wall Stud Capacity tables, 5.

NOTE: The allowable bearing capacity of the header should always be verified. In this example, if the header were a double SPF 2x6, a second trimmer would be required under each end of the header. Based on a 425 psi allowable bearing stress for SPF lumber, the bearing capacity is only 1912 lbs. (425 psi * 1.5" * 3") versus a reaction of 2880 lbs.

13 Typical Wall Framing: Wall Column Examples

WINDOW COLUMN EXAMPLE

Concentrated Load HOW TO SIZE 1. Determine the clear height of the column. Uniform Load 2. Determine the tributary width for the lateral wind pressure. 3. Determine the total vertical load (lbs) applied to the column. 4. Determine the allowable deflection ratio based on the wall construction. 5. Select the required grade and size from the appropriate chart.

EXAMPLE: This column sits between two windows, both 36" rough openings, in the wall from the previous example. For this example, there is no additional concentrated load applied. The only vertical loads will be the uniform load from the roof trusses, second story wall and the second floor.

Wall Column SOLUTION: 1. The column will be the same height as the typical wall stud – 9'. 2. The tributary width for the wind pressure will be half the rough opening to both sides plus the width of the column and the trimmers. Since the width of the column is not 36" RO known but the only vertical loads are the uniform loads from the common trusses, 36" RO try a double 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" column. Tributary Width = 2 * (36" / 2) + 2 * 1-1/2" (trimmers) + 2 * 1-1/2" (double 1-1/2" column) = 42" Use 48" as next largest Tributary Width. 3. The applied vertical load on the column will only be the uniform load from the common roof trusses between the trimmers – assume a typical stud spacing of 16" for simplicity. The trimmers will support the vertical load from the window headers. Total Vertical Load = 1488 plf (from Typical Wall Stud example) * 16" oc / 12 = 1984 lbs 4. Again, use a deflection ratio of L/360 for stucco. 5. Using the table for Exterior Wall Columns: 2x4 & 2x6 for 90 mph Wind, Tributary Width Exposure B, select: for Column 5-1/2" x 3-1/2" 1.35E LP® SolidStart® LSL column can support a vertical load of 8610 lbs with a deflection ratio of L/467.

WALL COLUMN EXAMPLE

Concentrated HOW TO SIZE Load 1. Determine the clear height of the column. 2. Determine the tributary width for the lateral wind pressure. 3. Determine the total vertical load (lbs) applied to the column. Uniform Load 4. Determine the allowable deflection ratio based on the wall construction. 5. Select the required grade and size from the appropriate chart.

EXAMPLE: Based on the conditions from the typical wall stud example, select a wall column in the same first story wall to support a girder truss load of 4020 lbs. The design must include the weight of the second story wall and the load from the second floor.

SOLUTION: 1. The column will be the same height as the typical wall stud - 9' in this example. 2. The tributary width for the wind pressure will be the same as that from the typical stud example: 16." Hint: Even if this column falls off-center between two typical studs, the tributary width is still 16" (in this case) as the total oc distance between the adjacent studs is 32." 3. The applied vertical load on the column will be the girder truss load transferred through the second story wall column, the tributary area of the second floor and the tributary weight of the second story wall (both the same as in the typical wall stud). Roof: 4020 lbs Wall: 100 plf x 16" oc / 12 = 134 lbs Floor: 495 plf x 16" oc / 12 = 660 lbs Total Vertical Load = 4020 + 134 + 660 = 4814 lbs 4. As in the typical wall stud example, use a minimum deflection ratio of L/360 for stucco. 5. Using the table for Exterior Wall Columns: 2x4 & 2x6 for 90 mph Wind, Exposure B, select: 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" 1.35E LP SolidStart LSL column can support a vertical load of 5280 lbs with a deflection ratio of L/876.
