Question

Design 7/10/2018 points): A plan for a one-story structure is shown below. The building is being designed to support a uniform dead load D- 58 psf (including the weight of the steel members) and a nominal uniform live load Lo- 50 psf. Live load reduction information can be found in your equation sheets. (a) Sketch (on the provided figure) the tributary area for girder A. (b) Using LRFD, determine the factored ultimate design moment (M.) for girder A, treating the loads on the girder as distributed loads. Assume girder A is simply supported. (c) Using LRFD, determine the factored ultimate design moment (M.) for girder A, using the load path to determine concentrated loads acting on the girder. Assume girder A is simply supported. 30' 3 25* 25"

Explanation / Answer

b)tributary width of girder = (25/2)+(25/2)=25 feet

total dead load = 58 psf

total live load = 50 psf

total factored area load per 1.2D+1.6L combination = (1.2*58)+(1.6*50)=149.6 psf

uniform load on girder=149.6*25=3740 plf=3.74 kip/ft

span of girder=30 feet

maximum moment in girder = 3.74*302/8=420.75 kip-ft

c)tributary width of beams supported by girder A=15'

factored uniform load on each beam = 15*149.6=2244 plf=2.244 kip/ft

force exerted by each beam on girder = 2.244*25/2=28.05 kips

total concentrated load on girder =2*28.05=56.1 kips

maximum moment in girder = 56.1*30/4=420.75 kip-ft
