A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 355 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the collector force at the edge of the opening (point A)? Let L = 46 ft, a = 30 ft, b = 16 ft, be = 30 ft, and bi = 10 ft, bo = 12.5 ft.
