The following roof framing plan shows girders, purlins, and subpurlins. If a dead load of 11.78 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 11.86 psf acts on the tributary area of one of the 50-ft girders, determine the equivalent distributed load that acts on the girder.

If a building contains columns that are evenly spaced every 16 feet in the north-south direction and 19 feet in the east-west direction, the tributary area of a typical corner column would be _______.

The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 3 ft by 7 ft, and the materials have been cut and stacked so that each layer completely covers the pallet.

Which of the following is not a common social or emotional challenge often faced by those in late life in the United States?

You have been tasked with designing a one-story fire station. The mean roof height is 20 ft, the roof angle is 15 degrees, and the effective wind area is 10 square feet. 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 five conditions listed in ASCE 7-10 section 30.5.1. Determine the positive net design wind pressure for h = 30 ft, pnet30, on Zone 1 of the Components and Cladding using the Simplified Envelope Procedure.
