Question: Loads are typically combined on structures using load factors, which take into account the likelihood of different types of loads acting on a structure simultaneously.

Loads are typically combined on structures using load factors, which take
into account the likelihood of different types of loads acting on a structure
simultaneously. A common controlling load combination is given as
follows:
D+0.75L+0.75(0.6W)+0.75(LrorSorR)
where D= dead load, L= live floor loads, W= wind loads, Lr= live roof
loads, S= snow loads and R= rain loads.
For the given roof member shown below ( C is an internal hinge), draw the
shear and moment diagrams given the following loads:
D=70 plf, Lr=120 plf, and W=200 plf. Note that on member CB,W is
acting in the opposite direction as in member AC.
