Question: Problem: A continuous girder system as shown in Grid 3 is consists of G 1 1 , G 1 2 and G 1 3 girders.

Problem:
A continuous girder system as shown in Grid 3 is consists of G11, G12 and G13
girders. The slab resting on these girders have the following superimposed dead
loads:
Metal Deck with Reinforced
Concrete Slab:
Floor Finish Type:
3.5kPa?
Ceilings (Below the Slab):
Hardwood Flooring, 22mm
Frame Partitions:
Gypsum board, 10mm
Miscellaneous (MEPF):
Movable Partitions
0.24kPa?
Girders (G11, G12 &G13) carry a uniform superimposed dead load of 8.1 kN/m
due to the perimeter wall.
The slab carries a live load of Residential Basic Floor Area.
In the initial analysis, beams (B5, B10, B15, B17 & B19) were assumed to be
W6x20. Girders (G11, G12 &G13) were assumed to be W16x50.
Earthquake analysis from a software was conducted and the reactions at the
exterior supports (joints A & D) are as follows:
At joint A:
Shear force (VA)=62kN
Moment (MA),=105kN-m
At joint D:
Shear force (VD)=-58kN
Moment (MA),=-95kN-m
Determine the controlling load combination for LRFD and the
corresponding factored load (Shear and Moment) in the exterior supports.
If the resistance factor is 0.90, what is the required nominal strength?
Determine the controlling load combination for ASD and the
corresponding required service load strength (Shear and Moment) in the
exterior supports.
If the safety factor is 1.67, what is the required nominal strength based on
the service load strength?|
