Question: ( 2 0 points ) A building is 1 , 0 0 0 feet tall and has a rectangular plan of 8 0 feet by

(20 points) A building is 1,000 feet tall and
has a rectangular plan of 80 feet by 180 feet
as indicated in the figure to the right. The
total gravitational (vertical) load is 80,000
kips. The horizontal (wind) loads acting on it
are displayed in the figure. The building is
supported by six identical columns located
along the perimeter of the building's
rectangular plan as shown in the figure.
a. Compute the overall reactions at the
base of the building due to gravitational
and wind loads.
b. Compute the axial forces taken by each
column at the base due to: gravitational
(vertical) loads, wind (horizontal) loads,
and both gravitational and wind loads.
Indicate whether these axial forces are
tension or compression.
