The two columns in the following floor framing plan support only loads from a dance hall on the second floor. The city has approved floor live load reductions for this particular building. A dead load of 12.8 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.

Determine the rain load, R, on a flat roof given the following data.Vertical distance from primary roof drain to scupper inlet, ds = 5.0 in.Vertical distance to top of rain water above scupper inlet, dh = 3.4 in.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 11.38 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the 50-ft girders, determine the equivalent distributed load that acts on the girder.

You have been tasked with designing a one-story barn. The mean roof height is 15 ft, the roof angle is 20 degrees, and the effective wind area is 50 square feet. The basic wind speed has been provided by the local building authority and is 110 mph. Assume that exposure category B 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 five conditions listed in ASCE 7-10 section 30.5.1. Determine the positive net design wind pressure for h = 30 ft, pnet30, on Zone 2 of the Components and Cladding using the Simplified Envelope Procedure.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 11.87 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the columns, determine the equivalent point load that acts on the column.

Find the reduced roof live load for a one-story building which has columns evenly spaced every 29 feet in the north-south direction and 22 feet in the east-west direction. The building has an ordinary pitched roof with a slope of 12 inch/foot.

You have been tasked with designing a small, one-story healthcare facility. The mean roof height is 25 ft, the roof angle is 15 degrees, and the effective wind area is 10 square feet. The basic wind speed has been provided by the local building authority and is 120 mph. Assume that exposure category C 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 five conditions listed in ASCE 7-10 section 30.5.1. Determine the adjustment factor for building height and exposure, λ, for the Components and Cladding using the Simplified Envelope Procedure.

A dead load of 14.1 psf acts on a roof with a 2/12 inch/inch pitch. Determine the equivalent flat-roof load.

Determine the rain load, R, on a flat roof given the following data.Vertical distance from primary roof drain to scupper inlet, ds = 4.4 in.Vertical distance to top of rain water above scupper inlet, dh = 4.9 in.

If a building contains columns that are evenly spaced every 14 feet in the north-south direction and 29 feet in the east-west direction, the tributary area of a typical interior column would be _______.
