1. Given the following information, determine the appropriate LRFD load combination and calculate the load acting on a typical roof joist (plf). The joists span 30 ft and are spaced 5 ft on center. Select the lightest K-series joist from the LRFD joist selection tables. Since this is for a roof joist, allowable deflection is L/240. In addition to the series designation, also indicate the capacity of the joists. Dead Load: 28 psf Roof Live Load: 20 psf Snow Load: 31 psf Rain Load: 23 psf Wind Load: 33 psf (Upward)
