You have been tasked with designing a one-story police station. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 20 degrees. The basic wind speed has been provided by the local building authority and is 110 mph. Assume that exposure category D is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Also assume that the building is an enclosed simple diaphragm and that the building meets all eight conditions listed in ASCE 7-10 section 28.6.2. Determine the simplified design wind pressure, ps30, on Zone F of the Main Wind Force Resisting System using the Simplified Envelope Procedure.

A column is loaded in compression as follows. What is the controlling factored load for ASD?Dead load: 19 kipsFloor live load: 2 kipsRoof rain load: 6 kipsRoof live load: 6 kips

The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 4 ft by 5 ft, and the materials have been cut and stacked so that each layer completely covers the pallet. Use ASCE 7-10 to determine the total dead load resting on the pallet.4 layers of asphalt shingles8 layers of deck, metal, 18 gage7 layers of plywood, 3/8-in. thick

The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 3 ft by 4 ft, and the materials have been cut and stacked so that each layer completely covers the pallet. Use ASCE 7-10 to determine the total dead load resting on the pallet.4 layers of fiberboard, 1/2-in.6 layers of decking, 2-in. wood (Douglas fir)6 layers of plywood, 3/8-in. thick

A 15-ft-long, simply-supported beam supports a concentrated dead load of 495 lb at its center. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam.

A 9-ft-long, simply-supported beam supports a uniformly distributed dead load of 50 lb/ft. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam.

Determine the rain load, R, on a flat roof given the following data.Vertical distance from primary roof drain to scupper inlet, ds = 6.3 in.Vertical distance to top of rain water above scupper inlet, dh = 4.1 in.

The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 4 ft by 8 ft, and the materials have been cut and stacked so that each layer completely covers the pallet. Use ASCE 7-10 to determine the total dead load resting on the pallet.9 layers of asphalt shingles9 layers of decking, 3 in. wood (Douglas fir)4 layers of plywood, 3/8-in. thick

A column is loaded in compression as follows. What is the controlling factored load for LRFD?Dead load: 21 kipsFloor live load: 3 kipsRoof rain load: 8 kipsRoof live load: 9 kips

The two columns in the following floor framing plan support only loads from a bowling alley on the second floor. The city has approved floor live load reductions for this particular building. A dead load of 11.7 psf acts on the tributary area of the columns. Combine this with the reduced floor live load, and then determine the total load that acts on one of the columns.
