4. The following diagram shows a section from a 2-story, wood-framed building.
a. Calculate the total (dead + live) axial load on the first story column.
b. Determine which of the 2 different timber column options shown in the table below is adequate to support the load.

The axial stress equation for a member in compression is, fc = P / A where:


fc: compressive stress
P: the axial compressive load
A : is the cross-section area
