Question
Double stud walls are a way to provide enough insulation to build a net-zero energy home. In some
double stud walls, 2×4 southern yellow pine boards“ are alternated on either side of the wall as
shown in the cross section below. The interior wall is faced with a 1-in. thick gypsum board'. The
exterior of the interior studs is faced with a 1/2-in thick plywood layer". The exterior wall is faced
with another 1/2-in thick plywood layer" and a clay brick (4-in wythe) veneer. The empty space
is filled with dense-packed cellulose insulation (4 lbs/ft according to the manufacturer's data sheet).
What is the dead load of a 12-ft tall section of this wall assembly per horizontal linear foot? (Note:
2x4 boards are actually 1.5"×3.5" in dimension)
