Question: The composite metal ( 2 0 guage ) floor deck of an office is to be supported by the simple supported trusses shown in Figure

The composite metal (20 guage) floor deck of an office is to be supported by the simple
supported trusses shown in Figure 3. Each truss is 4.5 m long and they are spaced 1.0 m on
centers. The floor itself is to be made from lightweight concrete that is 125 mm thick.
Neglect the weight of the truss. Determine the factored load (1.2DL +1.6LL) that acts on
the truss along gridline D and calculate and draw the bending moment and shear force
diagram. (Marks 20).
Light Concrete fill finish (per mm thickness) is 0.023kNm2
Office live load is 2.79kNm2
Deck, metal, 20gauge =0.14kNm2
The composite metal ( 2 0 guage ) floor deck of
