Problem 2: A flat roof is subjected to the following uniformly distributed loads:
1,008 Pa dead load
576 Pa roof live load
648 Pa snow load
1,056 Pa wind load
Although the wind itself is in a horizontal direction, the force that it exerts on this roof is
upward regardless of the wind direction. The dead load, roof live load, and snow load are
gravity loads and act downward.
1. If load and resistance factor is used, compute the factored load (required strength) in
Pa. Which AISC( American Institute of Steel Construction) load combination controls?
2. If allowable strength design is used, compute the required load capacity( required
strength) in Pa. Which AISC( American Institute of Steel Construction) load combination
controls?
