The roof of a single-story storage building shown below, is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 0.82 kPA over its surface area. Determine the load acting on floor beam AD.

What is a characteristic of a concurrent force system?

Determine the vertical reaction force at B. Let P1 = 180 kN, P2 = 50 kN, P3 = 200 kN, and a = b = c = d = 3.9 m.

The roof of a single-story storage building shown below, is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 1.06 kPA over its surface area. Determine the axial load acting on the column C.

The floor system of an apartment building consists of a 6-inch-thick reinforced concrete slab resting on three steel floor beams, which are in turn supported by two steel girders. The areas of cross section of the floor beams and the girders are 16.1 in.2 and 32.2 in.2, respectively. Determine the dead load acting on beam CD.

The floor system of a gymnasium consists of a 120-mm-thick concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A = 8,800 mm2) that, in turn, are supported by two steel girders (A = 25,400 mm2). Determine the point load acting on girder AD at point B caused by dead load.
