dProblem $3$: $(25$ points$)$

a$.$ Every load in a building should be traceable to the foundations. This concept is known as load

path. Using our classroom $($Kearney $212)$ as an example, describe in words how the load path of

the floor works. Assume the exposed steel structure you see supporting Kearney $312$ is the same

for Kearney $212.$ If you are standing in Kearney $212,$ where does the load go$?$ How does the load

get to the foundation?

b$.$ Would your answer to question $($a$)$ change, if hypothetically, we were located on the first floor of

the building?

c$.$ As you walk up the staircase from the lobby in Kearney Hall you pass by some braced frames.

This is part of the lateral force resisting system of the building. Describe in words load path for

the lateral force resisting system, specifically for an earthquake. If there was an earthquake

tomorrow, how does load path work for these braced frames? You might need to do some

googling for this one or look back at some of your notes from previous classes.Problem $3$: $(25$ points$)$
