Properties of L 152 x 152 x 11.1 A = 3280 mm² d = 152 mm t = 11.1 mm x = 41.9 mm Ix=7.33 x 10 mm⭑ Iy = 7.33 x 10 mm Zx=119 x 103 mm³ Sx = 66.5 x 103 mm³ P ° ° ° ° ° ° ° ° P Shown in figure PSAD-021 is a truss joint detail. It makes use of two rows of 22-mm bolts. The members are L 152 x 152 x 11.1 made of A36. The plate connecting the members is a 9mm-thick A36 plate (Fy = 36 ksi, Fu = 58 ksi). Assume that U = 0.85, ignore 85% limit of net area. Determine the effective net area of the section. Determine the allowable capacity of the connection.

A floor consists of 8 steel beams/girders supporting three 1-way slab panels. The beams are supported on 6 columns around the perimeter of the roof. The roof is subjected to a uniform pressure of 150 psf . All beams and girders weigh 90lb//ft. Use free-body diagrams and statics equations to determine the load and reactions on all the beams (Beam 1, 2, 3 and 4), girders (Girders 1 and 2), and columns (Columns 1, 2 and 3). (we only focused on one-way slabs in the class + pls include FBDs)
