2009 IBC Wall Stud Bending Stress Increase...gone??
(OP)
The 2006 IBC has a section/table 2306.2.1 that will allow for a bending stress increase in studs based on composite action that can be substituted for the repetitive member factor. I've looked through the 2009 code and so far have been unable to find this provision. Can someone verify if it has been removed entirely or just moved to a different section and I have missed it??
