Question

The double lacing shall be designed to resist transverse shear Vt equal to - (where P is total load acting on the column)

The correct answer is

2.5 % of P

This means that the double lacing system must be designed to resist a transverse shear equal to: Lacing Type Required Transverse Shear (V_t) Single Lacing 2.5% of P Double Lacing 2.5% of P Therefore, for a double lacing system, the transverse shear V_t to be resisted is equal to 2.5% of the total load P. Therefore, the correct answer is 2.5 % of P.
