Calculate the loads that is acting on the floor beam BE and girder AC.

Answer to Problem 1P
The uniformly distributed load acting on the floor beam BE is
The load acting at A, B, and C on the girder AC are
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The building is a single-story building.
The building is subjected to uniformly distributed load of
Calculation:
Show the roof of the single-story storage building as shown in Figure 1.
Refer Figure 1.
The columns are denoted by A, C, D, and F.
The floor beam is denoted by BE.
The girders are denoted by AC and DF.
Show the tributary area of the floor beam BE as shown in Figure 2.
Refer Figure 2.
The tributary area of the floor beam BE is denoted by the shaded area.
Calculate the tributary area of the floor beam BE
The length of the floor beam BE is
Calculate the uniformly distributed load
Substitute
Show the uniformly distributed load acting on the floor beam BE as shown in Figure 3.
Refer Figure 3.
The reactions at B and E are denoted by
The loading on the floor beam BE is symmetrical.
Calculate the value of
Show the uniformly distributed load acting on the floor beam BE as shown in Figure 4.
Refer Figure 4.
Thus, the uniformly distributed load acting on the floor beam BE is
Show the tributary area of the girder AC as shown in Figure 5.
Refer Figure 5.
The tributary area of the girder AC is denoted by the shaded area.
Calculate the tributary area of the girder AC
Calculate the load
Substitute
The total load acting on the tributary area of the girder AC is
Almost half the load acts at the junction of the floor beam BE and the girder AC. Then,
The load acting at B is
The remaining half of the load acts equally on the column A and C. Then,
The load acting at A is
Show the load acting on the girder AC as shown in Figure 6.
Refer Figure 6.
The reactions at A and C are denoted by
The loading on the girder AC is symmetrical.
Calculate the value of
Show the load acting on the girder AC as shown in Figure 7.
Refer Figure 7.
Thus, the load acting at A, B, and C on the girder AC are

- help me with this Question for revision purpose and as well with references The office building was built in year 2017 and has not obtained any Green Mark certification before. The office building is occupied by a single tenant/entity. The building management team had done an analysis of the building’s energy performance by extracting the data from the various systems. The current performance and findings of the systems are listed in Appendix A. The client is considering to have the building undergo retrofitting to improve the building’s energy performance. The objective is to achieve Green Mark Gold Plus under the new Green Mark 2021 framework. For part (a) below, you are to use Pathway 1: EUI for this. (a) As part of the feasibility exercise, you are to interpret the current performance of the existing building based on the data available (Refer to Appendix A). You should then organise and present to the client how does the current building relate to the Energy Efficiency Section of…arrow_forwardWhat are the advantages and disadvanages of using a bar chart in construction scheduling?arrow_forward1- Determine the area of the region enclosed by y = t sin(t), the x- axis, y-axis and x = Π 元-3arrow_forward
