Horizontal wind loading is typically distributed into a lateral load resisting system through metal roof and floor deck. That said, a wind load of 20 psf is applied to a two-story building face, each story being 12' in height, and the building being 100' in width. What is the factored load that that is transferred via roof and floor deck that is applied to the roof and second story wind towers perpendicular to the wind loading? Employ the concept of tributary area (but horizontally rather than vertically).
