The actual cross sectional size of a 6 x 10 is 6 times 10 51

The actual cross sectional size of a 6 x 10 is 6 times 10\" 5-1/2\" times 9-1/4\" 5-1/2\" times 9-1/2\" 5-1/4 times 9-1/4\" The purpose of a rainscreen type of siding installation is to: Provide a drainage layer behind the siding Provide a method of insect control Provide an integral drip edge along the building\'s exterior Provide a decorative surface The purpose of a vapor retarder in a building assembly is: Providing a structural connection between the framing members. Prevent warm moist air from attaining the dew point inside the building cavity. Prevent warm moist air from entering the building cavity. Preventing dangerous vapors from entering the building. Which of the following components play an integral role in the resistance to lateral loads of a light wood frame, (circle ail that apply). Anchor bolts through the sill plate Hold downs through the platform Subflooring Wall sheathing Give three main, (primary), differences between balloon and platform framing:

Solution

1. The answer is option \"c\" - 5.5x9.5

Cross section is a dimensional propoerty and 6x10 is the nominal size.

2. Rainscreen siding includes air gap between the siding and the water resistive barrier. It is used to provide a path for liquid water to drain down to the weep holes at the bottom of the wall. So the answer is option \"a\".

3. Vapor retarder or vapor barriers helps reduce the penetration of moisture and water vapor into the structure, helping to reduce mold growth. So the answer is option \"c\".

4. Lateral load resistance has to be achieved without the need for structural engineering design. These includes supporting sub flooring to the roof framing above. Anchor bolts helps in fastening and framing. So the answer is option \"a\" and \"c\".
