Question: Problem 2 : Assuming the total surface load on the deck below ( Dead + Live ) is 8 0 psf and the fixed equipment

Problem 2: Assuming the total surface load on the deck below (Dead+Live) is 80 psf and the fixed
equipment weighs 5000 lbs. The self-weight of all the beams is 50 plf.
1) Draw a FBD and find the support reactions for beams B1 B7.
2) Find the forces going into the pads A1, A2, B1 and B2, and...
3) Check your result by checking the net pad forces against the total weight of the deck
structure.
