I'll share with you. Today, I got to know about the site conditions. Actually the purpose of wall is changing from interior to exterior wall and my job is to check the stability of wall.

Studs are connected to beam by spot weld.

Yes, you are right. Its 58Psf.

You're being a bit harsh, I must say. I’ve already mentioned the height and wind speed, so this wouldn’t qualify as a nominal pressure. For reference, the pressure is 34 psf as per ASCE 07-22, and the stud is 600S162-S4 with a 16 Gauge thickness. I’m new to U.S. construction standards and not...

This is 18' + 18' in height. Studs are connected by a structural member at 18' height. This is a two storey building. An architect informed me that, in the USA, method for wall construction involves placing studs at 16-inch oc. However, I find this difficult to believe, which is why I’m here...

This is 18' + 18' in height. Studs are connected by a structural member at 18' height. I'm agree with you.

Yes, but what about if we add braces between studs? No chance for vinyl siding to stay at this pressure as per my calculations.

Dear Engineers, Are metal stud walls appropriate for exterior use in Corpus Christi, where wind speeds can reach 160 mph? I am considering using sheetrock insulation with vinyl siding for a 36-foot-high wall on the second floor of a residential building. The existing wall was constructed with...
