Consult the services of a local structural engineer with experience in wood frame construction. It would be irresponsible to answer this question without detailed knowledge of the work proposed, local building codes or by anyone other than an engineer.

Is vertical visibility a ceiling?

From a practical standpoint, yes. AIM 7-1-31 says, "For aviation purposes, the ceiling is the lowest broken or overcast layer [of clouds], or vertical visibility into an obscuration." It goes on to explain that vertical visibility is an indefinite ceiling height where total obscuration is indicated. That said, 14 CFR 1.1, under "ceiling", makes no mention of vertical visibility.

What is the difference between shear wall and load bearing wall?

A "load-bearing" wall is typically defined as a wall supporting any vertical load in addition to its own weight. A shear wall transfers lateral loads from a roof, ceiling or floor diaphragm to a foundation or other element. Although a shear wall might not carry gravity loads from roof or floor forces, it can still be considered load-bearing as the lateral forces induce a rotational, or overturning moment in-plane with the wall, which results in vertical reactions at the boundaries of the wall. These forces are in addition to the shear, or sliding forces induced in the wall. {Building plans examiner response}


What is the maximum span on a double 2x12 beam supporting 2x8 ceiling rafters and an acoustical ceiling?

Depends on the area above the ceiling joists. Is it a live load (living space) or dead load (just the joists with maybe an attic above)? Also, the length of the ceiling joists from the last bearing point is a factor. How much weight is bearing on the beam is the critical issue.
