Question: The 1 8 - story building given in Problem 2 must support a floor and roof dead load of 8 0 psf , a floor

The 18-story building given in Problem 2 must support a floor and roof dead load of 80 psf, a floor live
load of 50 psf, and a roof live load of 30 psf as given in Problem 2. The building has a uniform story
heights of 14 ft. The wind load is determined to be 40 psf over the upper 50 ft, and the lateral load is to be
resisted in each direction by perimeter moment frames. The 4-bay moment frames are located on grid lines
1 and 8 and the 7-bay moment frames are located along lines A and E. Use the load case that includes
dead, live and wind loads to calculate resultant wind forces in each frame at the roof level and at the next
level down for design by LRFD.
