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.

Determine the flat roof snow load, pf, for an unheated building with a roof that is fully exposed in terrain category B and has a risk category of I. Assume the ground snow load is 29 psf. Do not consider the minimum roof snow load, pm.

You have been tasked with designing a building for storing extremely hazardous materials. According to ASCE 7-10, what is the risk category for this building? Note that specific examples for each category are listed in the ASCE 7 commentary at the end of the document.

A dead load of 11.7 psf acts on a roof with a 5/12 inch/inch pitch. Determine the equivalent flat-roof load.

Determine the rain load, R, on a flat roof given the following data.Vertical distance from primary roof drain to scupper inlet, ds = 4.4 in.Vertical distance to top of rain water above scupper inlet, dh = 4.9 in.

Find the reduced roof live load for a one-story building which has columns evenly spaced every 18 feet in the north-south direction and 16 feet in the east-west direction. The building has an ordinary pitched roof with a slope of 7 inch/foot.

A 11-ft-long, simply-supported beam supports a concentrated dead load of 370 lb at its center. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam.
