Draw the free body diagram of the structure with correct dimensions. Present TWO possible load cases that could cause the structure to overturn or lose its static equilibrium. Provide clear labelling for "unfavourable", "favourable", "leading", and "accompanying". Write clearly the values of partial safety factor for loads and indicate the point of overturning in the footing foundation. Calculate the largest weight of foundation required in kN that will ensure static equilibrium in this structure for the worst possible load case.

Transcribed Image Text:QUESTION 2
Consider roof structure in a petrol kiosk as shown in Figure Q2. The overall height is 6 m and the width
of the roof cantilevers out 3 m each on both sides making a total width of 6 m. The footing foundation
at the base of the column has a depth of 3 m and a width of 2 m. Given the following characteristic
actions acting on the structure:
(a)
(b)
Characteristic permanent action on roof (includes self-weight) =
Characteristic variable action on roof (non-accessible)
Characteristic wind action (acting horizontally along the height) =
(c)
