Question: # 3 Solution - The building to be designed is a two - story office building. The roof plan will consist of T - beams

#3 Solution -The building to be designed is a two-story office building. The roof plan will consist of T-beams which are supported by girders. The second floor will be a two-way slab on columns. The allowable bearing pressure for the soil is 3000psf.
The superimposed dead load (not including self-weight) on the roof is 20 psf. This includes things like mechanical equipment, insulation, membrane, ceiling etc. The superimposed dead load on the floor is 30psf. Snow loads, roof uplift due to wind, roof live load, and floor live loads are all to be determined according to ASCE ?. You may use live load reduction where appropriate.
Continuous one-way roof slab that spans between the stems of T-beams. Be sure to determine positive and negative moments. Determine the temperature and shrinkage reinforcement (parallel to the T-beams).
The roof T-beams which are assumed to be simply supported. For any T-beams framing into columns add reinforcement to resist a negative moment of wwd216.
The roof girders which are assumed to be simply supported between columns. They must be as deep or deeper than the T-beams framing into them. They are loaded by point loads from the T-beams. Add reinforcement near the column locations to resist a negative moment according to the following rules: at interior face of extemal column w4l216+ sum of concentrated
loads that act on the span.
