Shared development of innovations among several departments is emphasized by which of the following approaches to innovation?

The two columns in the following floor framing plan support only loads from a gymnasium on the second floor. The city has approved floor live load reductions for this particular building. A dead load of 13.0 psf acts on the tributary area of the columns. Combine this with the reduced floor live load, and then determine the total load that acts on one of the columns.

A task force is 

Which of these are used to help determine why employees are leaving their jobs?

Companies that are world-oriented and favor no specific country

The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 4 ft by 5 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.5 layers of fiberboard, 1/2-in.6 layers of deck, metal, 18 gage7 layers of plywood, 5/8-in. thick

A 9-ft-long, simply-supported beam supports a uniformly distributed dead load of 50 lb/ft. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam.

You have been tasked with designing a water treatment plant. 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.

The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 7.93 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the purlins, determine the equivalent distributed load that acts on the purlin.

Find the reduced roof live load for a one-story building which has columns evenly spaced every 17 feet in the north-south direction and 17 feet in the east-west direction. The building has an ordinary pitched roof with a slope of 1 inch/foot.
