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

You have been tasked with designing a one-story fire station. The mean roof height is 20 ft, the roof angle is 10 degrees, and the effective wind area is 20 square feet. The basic wind speed has been provided by the local building authority and is 110 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 positive net design wind pressure for h = 30 ft, pnet30, on Zone 3 of the Components and Cladding using the Simplified Envelope Procedure.
