- 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.

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.
