Problem $3$

The single story building shown in Fig. $3$ has an applied uniform load of $300psf(0\mathrm{.}3ksf)$

including the self weight of the beams and the girders. The roof has a $16ft15ft$

opening as shown.

Determine the axial loads on Columns $C1$ and $C2$ using reactions from the beams

supported on the columns.

Determine the axial loads on Columns $C1$ and $C2$ using the concept of tributary

areas.
