(c) Jeff R. Filler, Pell City, April 2023 In earlier posts we looked at the `main’, or `overall’, wind forces on a rather low, wide `shop’ (here and here), and on a relatively narrower and taller `house’ (here). Specifically, we …
In our earlier posts we determined the horizontal and vertical components of wind load on a `shop’ (here). The horizontal force was/is 500 lb, as acting on an 8-ft wide `swath’ of shop, which is framed with wood trusses at …

V (pronounced `Veeee’, in wood engineering, in any particular usage, generally stands for one of two things. As pertaining to loads and forces in (inside of) wood structural members themselves, V stands for `Shear’, in particular `horizontal shear’, and specifically …
Okay, let’s say I’m gonna build a `shop’ near, say, Moscow (Latah County), Idaho, Zip 83843. The big worries there are snow, in winter, and wind, any time of year. For wind, let’s go to https://hazards.atcouncil.org, … `Wind’, and then …
