Question

The criteria to qualify for the Repetitive Member Factor in wood design are: a)-spacing less than 24 in, more than 3 members, continuous deck b)- spacing less than 6 ft, minimum of 2 members c)-no spacing requirement, but must be more than 5 members d)-there is no such thing

Answer 1

Answer:

(a) spacing less than 24 in, more than 3 members, continuous deck

Explanation:

• The repetitive member factor is used for the adjustment of the allowable design stress for the member.
• when there is 3 or more members then they can share the load easily
• as long as the load is shared the repetitive member factor can be applied
• the 3 members are attached to each other and spaced upto 24" the member still share the load
