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.

Problem 1 (60 pts) A novel media for stem cell culture is being developed. To study its flow characteristics (important during mixing in a bioreactor), experiments are performed using the set-up below. The liquid undergoes laminar flow between two flat plates both from the application of a constant pressure gradient

A single-story wood-frame building is exposed to a wind load of wU = 350 lb/ft. For simplicity, assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it, and that the building has no windows or doors. Let L = 52 ft, b = 30 ft, and the height of the walls be 8.5 ft. What is the unit shear in the shear walls?

A building with a non-structural interior wall and an opening is exposed to a transverse load of w = 325 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 = 56 ft, a = 40 ft, b = 16 ft, be = 40 ft, and bi = 13 ft, bo = 15.5 ft.

A building with a non-structural interior wall is exposed to a transverse load of w = 360 lb/ft. Assume this load was determined from the load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. What is the maximum chord force? Let L = 24 ft, a = 20 ft, b = 4 ft, be = 10 ft, and bi = 3 ft.

Use the AWC Special Design Provisions for Wind and Seismic, 2015 Edition and ASD procedures to answer the following question.A building is exposed to a transverse load of wU = 340 lb/ft due to wind. Assume this load was determined from the ASD load combinations, i.e. do not apply the load combinations to it. The wood structural panel is 7/16-in. thick 24/16 span-rated sheathing unblocked. Nails are 8d common and spaced every 6 in. at diaphragm boundaries and supported panel edges. Is this design adequate for the transverse load? Let L = 56 ft and b = 30 ft.
