A column is loaded in compression as follows. What is the controlling factored load for ASD?Dead load: 19 kipsFloor live load: 2 kipsRoof rain load: 6 kipsRoof live load: 6 kips

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.

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 12.2 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 9-ft-long, simply-supported beam supports a concentrated dead load of 395 lb at its center. Determine the maximum bending moment in the beam.
