Determine the number of 8-foot-long studs needed for the gable ends of the residence shown in Figures 14.65 and 14.66. The gable end on the east elevation is the same as the gable end on the west elevation.

What will be an ideal response?


The number of stud is found as follows:

Number of gable-end studs per gable end = 26? × 0.75 spaces per foot = 20 – Use 21 studs per end

Average height = 4?4? × 2 / 3 = 2?11?

On average, two gable-end studs can be cut from one 8? stud or one 92 5/8" stud. The quantity must be doubled to account for both gable ends.

Number of studs = 2 × 21 / 2 = 21 pieces
