PROBLEM 2. Determine the critical design load using the following code provisions. Required
strength U shall be at least equal to the effects of factored loads in the following equations. The effect
of one or more loads not acting simultancously shall be investigated.
U=1.4(D+F)
U=1.2(D+F+T)+1.6(L+H)+0.5(LkorR)
U=1.2D+1.6(LsorR)+(f1(L)oror0.5(W))
U=1.2D+1.0W+f1L+0.5(LkorR)
U=1.2D+1.0E+f1L
U=0.9D+1.0W+1.6H
U=0.9D+1.0E+1.6H
f1=1.0 for floors in places of public assembly, for live loads in excess of 4.8 kPa ,
and for garage live load, or
f1=0.5 for other live load
U - design or ultimate load
L - live load except roof live load
F - Load due to weight and pressure of fluids
H - Load due to weight and pressure of soil
T - Load due to temperature, creep and shrinkage
D - dead load
E-scismic load
Lk- roof live load
R - Rain load on undeflected roof
W - Wind Load
The compression gravity axial loads for a building column have been estimated with the following
results: dead load =670kN, live load from roof =270kN, live load from floors =1335kN,
compression wind =500kN, tensile wind =430kN, seismic compression load =225kN and tensile
seismic load =180kN.
