In designing for a wind loading, a high-rise building cannot be considered independent of its surroundings because the configuration of nearby buildings and natural terrain has a substantial influence on design loads. Briefly discuss what is the best approach or method to predict the wind loads to high rise buildings before they can be built? You may indicate why you choose this method.
How Linearly Increasing Vertical Loading ?
A 30m tape weighing 0.035kg/m is constantly supported at mid length and at its end points with a
steady pull of 5.60kg. What is the sag correction of the whole tape?

- 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.arrow_forwardA 4-storey with Roof deck AFP armory is to be constructed in Sulu. The facility is essential for the housing of the Philippine Army's newly purchased weapons, ammunitions and explosives. The location of the facility is 7.5 km from the known source which is capable of producing a magnitude 6.7 earthquake. The structure is a Steel MRF with an overall height of 14m from the NGL. The weight per level of the slabs and stairs is equal to 1740 kN. For the walls at the typical levels, the weight is computed as 2362.5 kN and for the parapet at the roof deck level, the weight is computed as 388.8 kN. An equipment 2.0 meters high with a hexagonal cross - sectional area whose sides equal to 1 meter is installed at the second level and has a weight of 100 kPa. Using R = 8.5, which of the following most nearly gives the minimum design base shear in kN?

The plans show this structure as having sides of length 5 m, 1.1 m and 4.3 m. Analysis of the design shows that the structure will be unsafe if the largest angle of the triangle is more than 125⁰. Is the structure as designed safe? (Full working to justify your answer must be shown on your handwritten working) O Yes O Noarrow_forward
