Hi There, just doing practice for calculating load on Jack and king studs in tall wall. As per attached sheet,
Load on king studs(one side) - from the tributary (half the stud spacing(6") + half of the opening width (18")) plus wind load (18psf) that is 1500plfx24" (= 3000lb) + 18psfx24" (= 36 plf along the length)
Load on jack stud (one side) from header beam - from tributary (half of the opening width (19.5")) that is 100psfx19.5"x123"=1666lb
assuming roof load 1500plf, wind load 18psf and wall load 100psf,
please advise
