Determine the number of 2 × 4 @ 92 5/8? studs needed for the residence in Figures 14.65 and 14.66. The studs are spaced 16 inches on center. Add two studs for each door, window, intersection, and corner. Ignore the gable ends.

What will be an ideal response?


The studs are calculated as follows:

Exterior wall length = 32? + 26? + 36? + 13?6? + 4? + 12?6? = 124?

Interior wall length = 12?10? + 19?4? + 16?4? + 3.5? + 8?9? + 11?9? + 3 × 2?1? + 3 × 8?4?

Interior wall length = 101?

Total wall length = 124? + 101? = 225?

Wall studs = 225? × 0.75 spaces per foot = 169 – Use 170 studs

Studs for doors/windows = 14 × 2 = 28 studs

Studs for corners = 9 × 2 = 18 studs

Studs for intersections = 14 × 2 = 28 studs

Total studs = 170 studs + 28 studs + 18 studs + 28 studs = 244 studs
