Question
Chapter 16, Problem 1RQ
To determine
The comparison of specific gravity of aluminium with that of steel.
Expert Solution & Answer
Answer to Problem 1RQ
The specific gravity of aluminium is approximately one-third of steel.
Explanation of Solution
Aluminium is a material which is commonly used in construction industry. It is lightweight and has a specific gravity 2.7 times that of water and approximately one-third when compared to steel. Pure aluminium has a lower melting point when compared to different structural metals.

Given an existing two-story steel structure with interior columns spaced as shown in Fig.2. The columns are spaced at 18 ft in the North-South direction and at 30 ft in the East-West direction. An interior lower-story column is to be removed by adding newsteel girder as shown in Fig. 4. The floor dead loads and the roof dead loads are 70 psfand 18 psf respectively. The floor live loads and the roof live loads are 50 psf and20 psf respectively. All existing steel materials are ASTM A36 steel (Fy=36 ksi). Newgirder is ASTM A992 steel (Fy= 50 ksi). All columns are W8x31. Use the LRFD Method.Assumptions:1- The loads given include column and beam self weights.2- Existing beam and new girder are simply supported at both ends.3- New girder top flange is laterally braced at mid span and at girder ends only.4- Columns are continuous from foundation to roof and are prevented from sway atfloor level and at roof level in both directions.5- Columns are pin supported at foundation, at floor level,…
