You have been tasked with designing a one-story barn. The mean roof height is 25 ft, and the roof angle is 20 degrees. 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 eight conditions listed in ASCE 7-10 section 28.6.2. Determine the adjustment factor for building height and exposure, λ, for the Main Wind Force Resisting System using the Simplified Envelope Procedure.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 11.15 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the columns, determine the equivalent point load that acts on the column.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 11.54 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the columns, determine the equivalent point load that acts on the column.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 11.39 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the columns, determine the equivalent point load that acts on the column.

If a building contains columns that are evenly spaced every 20 feet in the north-south direction and 12 feet in the east-west direction, the tributary area of a typical corner column would be _______.

A column is loaded in compression as follows. What is the controlling factored load for ASD?Dead load: 23 kipsFloor live load: 8 kipsRoof rain load: 6 kipsRoof live load: 10 kips

The density of a dried piece of 2×8 Southern Pine dimension lumber that is 8 feet long and has a moisture content of 13% is _______.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 12.82 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 police station. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 15 degrees. 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 eight conditions listed in ASCE 7-10 section 28.6.2. Determine the simplified design wind pressure, ps30, on Zone F of the Main Wind Force Resisting System using the Simplified Envelope Procedure.

You have been tasked with designing a one-story building as a sewage treatment plant. The mean roof height is 25 ft, the roof angle is 20 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.
