Temperature thru walls

Determine the temperature at each inside wall layer at the cavity (not stud) section of a northeast structure with the following characteristics:
Design Day = 20 deg F, Interior Temp = 65 deg F
Wall component layers:
  • Outside Air Film R = 0.17
  • Wood Siding R = 0.80
  • Plywood Sheathing 1/2"  R = 0.63
  • 3 1/2" Batt Insulation R = 11
  • 3/4" Gypsum Board R = 0.56
  • Inside Air Film R = 0.68
Given ∆T layer = (Rlayer / Rtotal) x ∆Ttotal

For EITHER steel or wood beams, a question that asks for the allowable deflection limit (maximum) for live loads only requires which of the following equations? A. L/240 B. L/360 C. ∆ = 5wl⁴ / 384EI D. ∆ = 5Wl³ / 384EI Answer B. L/360 or span in inches divided by 360. ARE 4.0 exam prep: SS Note on calculations: From posted discussions on AREforum , memorization of most equations is not advised. However, even when the equation may be available in in-exam reference, selection of the appropriate equation requires correct identification.
