A column in the upper story of a building is subjected to a compressive load from the following sources: dead load = 30.8 kips, occupancy live load = 1.7 kips, roof live load = 18.7 kips, and snow load = 19.7 kips. a. If load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is used, determine the factored load (required strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which ASCE load combination controls? b. What is the required design strength of the column? c. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a resistance factor phi of0.9?
A column in the upper story of a building is subjected to a compressive load from the following
sources: dead load = 30.8 kips, occupancy live load = 1.7 kips, roof live load = 18.7 kips, and snow
load = 19.7 kips.
a. If load and resistance factor design (LRFD) is used, determine the factored load (required
strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which ASCE load combination controls?
b. What is the required design strength of the column?
c. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a resistance factor phi of0.9?
d. If allowable strength design (ASD), determine the required load capacity (required
strength) to be used in the design of the column. Which ASCE load combination controls.
e. What is the required nominal strength of the column for a safety factor Omega of 1.67.
