DESIGN DESCRIPTION To construct a warehouse, the frame system shown in Figure 1 has been adopted. As an engineer, your task is to analyse the mid frame, highlighted in RED. Column 3 Column 1 Beam 1 Columb 2 Slab 1 Beam 1 Slab 2 Beam 2 Beam 3 Column 2 5 m 5 m 5 m Column 3 Column 1 8 m (a) Transfer of self-weight of Slabs 1 and 2 to surrounding beams (simplified case) Beam 1 Figure 1 A warehouse frame system The detailed information of the structural components is provided as follows: Slabs 1 and 2 are made of in-situ cast reinforced concrete and have a thickness of 150 mm (Figure 2). For simplicity, we assume that half the weight of each slab is transferred to Beam 1 (as shown in Figure 2). In addition, a water tank full of water with a weight of 1042 kg (1000 L of water plus weight of the tank) will be installed in the middle of Beam 1 (Figure 2). All the beams are made of reinforced concrete and have a standard size of 225 mm x 600 mm. Note that the density of reinforced concrete is…

During the winter season, a young chemical engineer observed a snow from a pavement that is being scooped up to a height of 10 ft by an endless bucket-scoop, and is then dropped into a container. He noticed that, at the highest point, the snow moves at 3 ft/s. A total of 33 hp is needed to scoop snow at the rate of 100 lb/s. Assuming a loss of 10% due to friction, calculate the work done and the percentage of total work need to melt and break up the snow.
A 59-kg woman holds a 8-kg package as she stands within an elevator which briefly accelerates upward at a rate of 0.22g. Determine the force R which the elevator floor exerts on her feet and the lifting force L which she exerts on the package during the acceleration interval. If the elevator support cables suddenly and completely fail, what values would R and L acquire? 8kg 0.22g 59kg Answers: While accelerating, R = i N L = i ! N After the cables fail. R= i N L= i ! N
