Now move right to the column identified by the size of stud you are using. This number is the maximum wale
spacing in inches.
Step 10. Determine the uniform load on a wale (ULW) by multiplying the maximum concrete pressure by the
maximum wale spacing.
Step 11. Use Table 3-3 on page 3-9 or Table 3-4 (depending on type of wale) to determine the tie spacing based
on the ULW. Refer to the column headed Uniform Load and find the value you have for the ULW. If the value
you have falls between two values in the column, round it up to the nearest given value. Now move right to the
column identified by the size of lumber of wale you are using. This number is the maximum tie spacing in inches,
based on wale size. Use Table 3-3 if using single wales (4- by 4-inch lumber). Use Table 3-4 if you are using
double wales (2- by 4-inch or 2- by 6-inch lumber).
