Dave, I appreciate that. So the equation for my example becomes; A=[2.34*(3000)/[(150*6'/3 * 2 * 1.33 *(1')]=8.80ft. Note I don't have a 6'/3 term and another 6' term like my friend had in his example. Am I correct in your interpretation?

MiketheEngineer, Steel truss building with fabric roof. Very similar to Cover-All structures before they went bankrupt. Under wind they do move, seen it before.

ToadJones, I only have the 2006 IBC. Would there be a copyright infringement for you to PDF the section you are referring to from the 2009? Thanks

I guess I'm not being clear about my question; First assumption - This buidling with definitely move more than 1/2" over time. the lateral pressure increase of a factor of 2 falls under the section 1804.3 which is titled Lateral Sliding Resistance. I felt this 2 factor should fall inside...

Mike, I appreciate the comment but the fundamental problem I see with that is that the 2 factor falls under the section Lateral Sliding resitance (1804.3.1) while I'm interested in bearing values per Table 1804.2 I undertand the iterative process and that was not my question. The question is...

Okay I found the answer to my question in the link that was posted by WillisV. Washington State is getting a little goofy with their licensing by not offering some kind of grandfather policy for existing SE's out there.

So am I to understand that if I am a registered SE having taken and passed both SE 1 and 2 tests,if I want to get registered in WA after 2011 I would have to retake both exams or just the new SE 2?

I'm apologize if this question has been asked before but I couldn't find it in the archives. I am dealing with post foundations and I fully understand and use equations 18-1 and 18-2 and 18-3. I recently worked with an engineer who increases the values of his A term for equation 18-1 by...
