The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 8.08 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the purlins, determine the equivalent distributed load that acts on the purlin.

Determine the flat roof snow load, pf, for a building kept just above freezing with a roof that is fully exposed in terrain category C and has a risk category of IV. Assume the ground snow load is 48 psf. Do not consider the minimum roof snow load, pm.

If a building contains columns that are evenly spaced every 24 feet in the north-south direction and 21 feet in the east-west direction, the tributary area of a typical corner column would be _______.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 7.45 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the sub-purlins, determine the equivalent point load that acts at the center of the sub-purlin.

The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 4 ft by 6 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.6 layers of asphalt shingles8 layers of deck, metal, 20 gage5 layers of plywood, 3/8-in. thick

Determine the flat roof snow load, pf, for a building kept below freezing with a roof that is fully exposed in terrain category C and has a risk category of III. Assume the ground snow load is 53 psf. Do not consider the minimum roof snow load, pm.

Find the reduced roof live load for a one-story building which has columns evenly spaced every 16 feet in the north-south direction and 12 feet in the east-west direction. The building has an ordinary pitched roof with a slope of 2 inch/foot.

A dead load of 9.3 psf acts on a roof with a 6/12 inch/inch pitch. Determine the equivalent flat-roof load.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 7.84 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the purlins, determine the equivalent point load that acts at the center of the purlin.

Determine the flat roof snow load, pf, for an unheated building with a roof that is partially exposed in terrain category B and has a risk category of IV. Assume the ground snow load is 46 psf. Do not consider the minimum roof snow load, pm.
