Refer to the images and figures below. Building A: Roof at 15 feet. Columns at 30 foot x 15 foot grid. Column sizes are same as Building B. Roof loads are the same as Building B. Building B: Roof at 35 feet. Columns at 10 foot x 15 foot grid. Column sizes are same as Building A. Roof loads are the same as Building A. Requirement 2-(a): Architectural / Aesthetic reasons aside, what is the primary structural reason requiring more than twice the number of columns is required for columns with the same size and the same loading?
