1. Please find a real single story building (industrial, warehouse, etc.) made of steel and evaluate it based on its:
- Geometrical properties in terms of building height, building length, span of the roof, type of the roof, distance between axes, etc.
- What types of loads are being carried by the structure? 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.)
- What type of steel members are used (hot-rolled sections, built-up sections (made of plates), etc.)?
- Please describe the bracings or any kind of lateral systems used in the structure.
- Please identify its support types (if visible) such as fixed support or pinned support.
- State if there is a irregularity that can cause the damage and how do you remedy it?(50 points)
Find a real single story building (industrial, warehouse, etc.) made of steel and answer the questions, and draw it like a sketch (dimensions,etc.)
