Chapter 32, Problem 32.1Q
What are the two major methods of determining lateral loads?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The two major methods of determining lateral loads.
Answer to Problem 32.1Q
Extra blocking and metal connectors to tie posts of one level to members below them are methods of determining lateral loads.
Explanation of Solution
Lateral loads on a structure cause a side-movement. Seismic activity and wind cause lateral loads. Based on the country area where the building is situated, the magnitude of lateral loads can vary greatly.
OSB shear panels or plywood, metal connectors to tie posts of one level to members below them, metal angles and extra blocking are common methods of resisting lateral loads.

- 2. Design a storage and distribution system for the town of Waffle. The requirements are that fire protection shall be provided, the minimum water pressure at the top of the apartments is to be 240 kPa and the maximum system pressure is to be 550 kPa. The following assumptions may be used: Each of the four apartment buildings is occupied by 50 residents. Each apartment building is four stories high. Each story is 3 meters high. Each house is occupied by three residents. Average daily demand for the village is 500 Lpcd and the peak hourly demand factor is 6.2. Needed fire flow for the houses is 230 m3/h. and for apartment building is 500 m3/h, with 2 h duration. System pressure is to be provided from the elevated storage tank. Minor pressure losses in buildings may be ignored. The distribution system will not contain any loops. Assume that emergency supply (ES), fire department supply (FDS) or off peak pumping are not provided (they are all equal to zero). Provide the following…arrow_forward1. The city of Ten Sleep proposes to use Crater Lake for its water supply. Water quality analysis results revealed no detectable Giardia, viruses, or Cryptosporidium in the source water (Giardia cysts <1/100 L; Viruses <1/100 L; Cryptosporidium oocysts <0.075/L). Design a disinfection system to treat 3,500 m³/d by direct filtration and chlorine dioxide (CIO2) will be used as a primary disinfectant. The filtered water has a pH of 7.5 and a temperature of 5°C. Provide the following information for your design: • Determine the total removal/inactivation required for disinfection for each pathogen group • Determine the required CT value to achieve the required inactivation for the design conditions (pH, temperature)arrow_forwardFor the beam shown, where is the peak value of the bending moment diagram?

In addition to its own weight, it supports an uniformly distributed service live load of 100 psf. A masonry wall, which has a service dead load of 1500 lb/ft, is also supported by the slab along with an uniform service floor live load (a line load) of 500 lb/ft loaded as shown below in the figure.

Design the primary steel and temperature steel and show your results in a sketch. The concrete is light-weight concrete and has a unit weight of 110 lb/ft³. Assume 3/4 inch cover on the reinforcement aand that f' 3 ksi and f₁ = 60 ksi. Use #6 bars for the primary steel and #4 bars for the shrinkage and temperature steel.
