- 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.

They all start working at D at Q (e.g., Q-8am). If a person departs at time t, assume the time needed to go from O to D is given by c(t)=A+Bx(t), where x(t) is the flow of people departing at time t [car/unit of time]. In addition, a is the penalty for being early at work (E(t) is how early the person arrived when departing at time t), and ẞ is the penalty for being late at work (L(t) is how late the person arrived when departing at time t).
