Question: Consider the dimensions and loading information shown on the wall assembly detail provided in Figure 3 . The timber roof panels are simply - supported

Consider the dimensions and loading information shown on the wall assembly detail provided in Figure 3. The timber roof panels are simply-supported and span 5.0 metres between two parallel
masonry walls. The brick veneer is supported by the masonry block wall. The slab-on-grade is fully supported along the ground. Based on the information provided,
a) Compute the total specified uniformly distributed dead load (in kNm) acting along the timber panel. Be sure to include the self-weight of the panel in your calculations.
b) Compute the total specified uniformly distributed dead load (in kNm) acting along the top of the foundation wall (i.e., into the page).
c) Assuming that the building is located in Whistler, British Columbia and is a high-importance structure, compute the specified snow load, S(in kPa ). Also, compute the uniformly distributed snow load acting along the top of the foundation wall (i.e.. into the page).
d) If the roof must also support a live load of 1.1kPa (i.e., in addition to the corresponding snow/rain loading), compute the factored (ULS) design load (in kNm) acting along the top of the foundation wall (i.e., into the page).
