Question: 1 2 . Please find a multi - story building made of steel and evaluate it based on its: Geometrical properties in terms of number

12.Please find a multi-story building made of steel and evaluate it based on its:
Geometrical properties in terms of number of stories, building height, building length (including floor span,
roof span, and bay length),
What types of loads are being carried by the structure (on the roof, on the facade and on the floors)? What is
the relationship between loads and building shape (think about the loads such as snow, wind, earthquake,
dead, live, etc. discussed during the lectures)
Describe the load-bearing structural system of the structure (rigid frames, trusses, space frame, etc.). You
should give information about what type of roof system is used, what type of flooring system is used, what
is the main frame type of the building.
What type of steel members are used (hot-rolled sections, built-up sections (made of plates), beams with
opennings, composite columns, compound columns etc.)?
Please describe the bracings or any kind of lateral systems used in the structure.
Investigate this building and give some recommendations about its corrosion protection systems should be
(based on its corrosion category, whether exposed to air?, etc.).
Please identify its connection types; including beam-to-beam connections, beam-to-column connections,
bracing connections (if available), support types of the building (if visible)(25 points)
