Given the loads specified, compute the maximum combined load using the ASCE7 load combinations for strength design. State the governing principal action loads:
a. Roof of large theater: D=25psf,L=50psf,R=8psf,S=30psf(treat L as suspended from roof)
b. Floor of office: D=45psf,L=65psf
c. Column in parking garage: D=4.0k,L=6.5k,Lr=1.5k,R=1.25k,S=4.8k
d. Roof of arena: D=50psf,L=150psf,R=8psf,S=140psf(treat L as suspended from roof)
e. Lateral pressure at base of a large municipal water tank wall: D=1500psflf,F=62.4psflf,H(from soil outside the tank wall)=35psflf,Lr= and S are applied to the tank roof). Tank wall is buried; top of tank = top of grade. Compute for both empty tank and tank full of water. Express in psf/lf of tank height.
Hints / Q&A:
problem 1.e: the lateral earth pressure, H, is from the soil outside of the tank, and the fluid pressure, F, is from the water inside the tank. Where are the dead, D, live roof, Lr, and snow, S, loads considered from? Lets say from a roof over the tank - such as a large municipal water tank. You will end up with a lateral pressure and a vertical pressure.
