1. A frame structure is constructed with three types of materials (reinforced concrete/ steel/ wood) shown below. Section and material properties are tabulated.
Material weight densities:
Reinforced concrete =150lbs/ft^3
Steel =490lbs/ft^3
Wood =25lbs/ft^3
In this problem, our focus is on determining the cumulative weight of the structure applied to the structural foundation.
a. Compute the weight of two columns.
b. Compute the weight of the reinforced concrete beam.
c. Compute the weight of the wood beam.
d.Find the total weight of the structure foundation.
