A 15-ft-long, simply-supported beam supports a concentrated dead load of 535 lb at its center. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam.

Adolescents often experience the onset of puberty at different rates. Which of the following best explains the timing of puberty?

If a building contains columns that are evenly spaced every 12 feet in the north-south direction and 19 feet in the east-west direction, the tributary area of a typical exterior column would be _______.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 8.26 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.

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 IV. Assume the ground snow load is 23 psf. Do not consider the minimum roof snow load, pm.

You have been tasked with designing a one-story building as a sewage treatment plant. The mean roof height is 20 ft, and the roof angle is 20 degrees. The basic wind speed has been provided by the local building authority and is 120 mph. Assume that exposure category D 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.

Which of the following is least likely to play a role in an adolescent developing an eating disorder such as anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa?
