Steps for Civil Engineering, Structural Analysis

An agricultural building located at the

Lajas Valley, PR$,$ has to be designed to

grow turkey. It consists of steel roof

trusses oriented to the north$-$south

direction $($Direction $1),$ which are

supported by two columns. Braced

frames support the loads in the

east$-$west direction $($Direction $2).$ Both

north and south walls have openings of

$90$ ft in length by $8$ ft tall. The building

has two doors that are $10$ ft tall by $20$ ft

wide on each side on the east and west

walls. The roof does not have openings.

If all the windows and doors are

completely open during a eind storm...

Determine if this structure is Enclosed,

Partially Enclosed, Partially Open, or

Open based on the when the wind

comes from Direction $1.$ Then solve

separately with the wind coming from

Direction $2.$
