A one-story steel warehouse building is to be built of structural steel. The roof is to be sup-ported by steel trusses that will span the entire 70 ft width of the building and supported on
columns adjacent to the exterior walls. These trusses will be placed 24 ft on-center. No interiorcolumns will be present. The walls will be made of corrugated steel. There will not be anyroll–up doors. Compute the allowable total and differential settlements.
. A seven-story steel-frame office building will have columns spaced 7 m on centerand will have typical interior and exterior finishes. Compute the allowable total anddifferential settlements for this building
