A two-story building has the following characteristics. Determine the seismic design category using ASCE 7-10.Risk Category IVSite Class ASS = 0.25, S1 = 0.10

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 enclosed building. The mean roof height is 25 ft, and the roof angle is 5 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 125 mph. Assume that exposure category B is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the external pressure coefficient GCpf on Zone 2E for Load Case A.

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 G3. The roof dead load is D = 10 psf.    The reduced roof live load for this girder is Lr = 13 psf.

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 a partially-enclosed 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 140 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 2E using the positive value of GCpi for Load Case A. Disregard the minimum pressure of 16 psf described in section 28.4.4.

A cardboard box that has been glued to the ground experiences pressures p1 = 0.70 psi and p2 = 1.05 psi on one side. The box has dimensions L1 = 18 in., L2 = 8 in., and h = 13 in. Use the pressure tributary to the diaphragm (lid) of the box to determine the reaction force V2 between the diaphragm and the shearwall (short side of the box).

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 a partially-enclosed building. The mean roof height is 25 ft, and the roof angle is 20 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 140 mph. Assume that exposure category C is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the velocity pressure, qh.

A cardboard box that has been glued to the ground experiences pressures p1 = 0.85 psi and p2 = 1.15 psi on one side. The box has dimensions L1 = 18 in., L2 = 8 in., and h = 13 in. Use the pressure tributary to the diaphragm (lid) of the box to determine the reaction force V1 between the diaphragm and the shearwall (short side of the box).

A two-story building has the following characteristics. Determine the seismic design category using ASCE 7-10.Risk Category ISite Class ASS = 0.50, S1 = 0.20

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 20 ft, and the roof angle is 30 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 130 mph. Assume that exposure category D is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the external pressure coefficient GCpf on Zone 2 for Load Case A.

A two-story building has the following characteristics. Determine the design earthquake spectral response acceleration parameter at short period, SD1, using ASCE 7-10.Risk Category IIISite Class CSS = 0.75, S1 = 0.30
