Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing an open building. The mean roof height is 15 ft, and the roof angle is 30 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 145 mph. Assume that exposure category C is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the external pressure coefficient GCpf on Zone 2E for Load Case A.

The two columns in the following floor framing plan support only loads from a restaurant 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.

Use the MWFRS Envelope Procedure in ASCE 7-10 Chapter 28, Part 1 to answer this question. Assume that the building meets the conditions described therein. You have been tasked with designing an enclosed building. The mean roof height is 20 ft, and the roof angle is 30 degrees. The basic wind speed provided by the local building authority is 110 mph. Assume that exposure category B is applicable and that the building is not located on a hill or an escarpment. Determine the velocity pressure exposure coefficient, Kh.

A two-story building has the following characteristics. Determine the design earthquake spectral response acceleration parameter at short period, SD1, using ASCE 7-10.Risk Category IISite Class CSS = 0.75, S1 = 0.30

A cardboard box that has been glued to the ground experiences pressures p1 = 0.40 psi and p2 = 1.20 psi on one side. The box has dimensions L1 = 16 in., L2 = 8 in., and h = 12 in. Use the pressure tributary to the diaphragm (lid) of the box to determine the reaction force V2 between the diaphragm and the shearwall (short side of the box).
