Identify the wind load accepted on the structure with following information: There is a hospital located in Kalamazoo, Michigan with the size of W60 ft*L120 ft*H20 ft in open terrain with scattered obstructions. The structure type includes Solid Freestanding Walls, Roof Top. The ground elevation above sea level is 1000 ft. The roof type is considered as flat roof. Note: Suppose wind direction is in East-West direction (Case B)

Problem #2: A flat roof is subject to the following uniformly distributed loads: a dead load of 21 psf (pounds per square foot of roof surface), a roof live load of 12 psf, a snow load of 13.5 psf, and a wind load of 22 psf upward. (Although the wind itself is in a horizontal direction, the force that it exerts on this roof is upward. It will be upward regardless of wind direction. The dead, live, and snow loads are gravity loads and act downward.) If load and resistance factor design is used, compute the factored load (ZyQ) in pounds per square foot. Which ASCE 7 load combination controls?

STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS II The given plan below shows a 2-way floor system carried by 1-story 2-bays frame system as shown in sec 1-1. The floor is 18 cm in thickness and made with reinforced concrete with fc'= 28MPA and fy= 420MPA, yc= 24kN/m3. The floor is to carry a service live load of 5 kN/m2. Assume that E is constant for all structural elements in the system. Determine the following: 1- Extract he structural system of beam ADG, beam BEH, frame ABC, and frame DEF, showing the loads to be carried on each element from the slab, and include the own weight of the element given that beams ADG and BEH have a section of 180mm in depth and 400 mm in width. Where the girder of all frames has a cross section of 300 mm in depth and 800mm in width. 2- Analyze beam ADG using slope- deflection equations method. 3- Analyze beam BEH using moment distribution method. 4- Analyze frame ABC using moment distribution method.

(a) empt The detached servant room of a quarter is having internal size of 3.0m x4.50m. It is to be covered by a roof of RCC. The dead load on roof 4.5 kN/m² and the live load is 1.50 kN/m² Design the slab by I.S. Code method. Assume grade of concrete as M25 and grade of Steel as Fe415.
Design a simple supported slab for a 4 m (out-to-out) wide and 20 m (out-to-out) long waiting shed. The longitudinal beam has a size of 200 mm by 400mm. The slab carries the following superimposed dead loads: waterproofing of 0.02 kPa, ceiling load of 0.1 kPa and mechanical-electrical utilities 0.2 kPa. The superimposed live load to be applied is 1.4 kPa. The slab will be reinforced with 12mmΦ main reinforcements and 10mmΦ temperature reinforcements. The concrete has a full strength of 20.7 MPa and the reinforcement’s yield strength has a strength of 345 MPa.
