The following roofing materials are stacked on a pallet at a construction site. The pallet is 4 ft by 6 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.6 layers of asphalt shingles8 layers of deck, metal, 20 gage5 layers of plywood, 3/8-in. thick
