This plan is for stud-wall farm buildings having almost no resistance to overturning at the stud-to-foundation connection. These specifications will be over-safe if used with pole-frame walls because the poles add some overturning resistance. The tables and charts included in this leaflet are equally applicable to a diaphragm roof used to brace the top story of a two- or three-story stud wall farm building.
