Framing & StructuralCâu 345 / 700
In a continuous load path for lateral loads, what is the main job of metal straps that connect wall framing across a floor level (stacked walls)?
a.To level the floor
b.To carry plumbing across floors
c.To tie upper and lower wall segments together so uplift and overturning forces pass continuously to the foundation
d.To provide a nailing surface for baseboard
Giải thích
Straps across a floor level splice the upper wall to the lower wall so uplift and overturning tension travels down through each story to the foundation, maintaining a continuous load path. Leveling, plumbing support, and baseboard nailing are not the purpose of these tension straps.
