Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing an open building. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 30 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 145 mph. Assume that exposure category B is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the MWFRS design wind pressure, p, on Zone 4E for Load Case A. Disregard the minimum pressure of 16 psf described in section 28.4.4.

Girders G1, G2 and G3 in the roof framing plan support loads from purlin P1. Use ASD to determine the maximum bending moment in girder G2. The roof dead load is D = 13 psf.    The reduced roof live load for this girder is Lr = 20 psf.

Use the Simplified Alternative Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 12, Section 12.14 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the limitations described therein. A two-story building with the following characteristics has a building frame system consisting of light-frame (wood) walls with wood structural panels rated for shear resistance. A certain shear wall in the building is 80 feet long by 20 feet tall and weighs 12 psf. Determine the seismic base shear, V, for the wall.Risk Category IISite Class BSS = 1.00, S1 = 0.40

A beam has dimensions of b = 14 in., h = 24 in., and d = 21.5 in. and is reinforced with 3 No. 6 bars. The concrete strength is 8,800 psi, and the yield strength of the reinforcement is 60,000 psi. If the depth of the compressive stress block is a = 0.756303 in. and the strain in the reinforcement is εs = 0.052434, determine the strength φMn for this beam. Assume the transverse reinforcement is not spirals.
