Question: Considering the same structural layout that you chose in PR 1 , and the braced frames you decided as a team in Part I, calculate

Considering the same structural layout that you chose in PR1, and the braced frames you decided as a
team in Part I, calculate the following factored design forces for the most critical wind loading case
(neglecting any torsion that may develop due to asymmetry). In all cases, clearly indicate which member
you are considering.
i) highest axial tension load on a brace on the East-West elevation (longer building dimension)
ii) most critical uplift on a secondary beam at roof leve
