    Instructor
    Sample problem
    1. The floor slab of a library is supported by W530x66
    sections spaced at s =1.8m on centers, as shown in the
    figure. Given the following load:
    Floor Slab: Unit Weight = 23 kN/m3
    Thickness = 100 mm
    Floor Load: Dead Load = 1.2 kPa
    Live Load = 4.8 kPa
    Determine the following based on ASD and LRFD
    a. The governing load (kPa) of the slab.
    b. The governing load (kN/m) of the beam.

    Sample problem
    2. A roof system is subjected to the following loads:
    Roof Dead Load = 2.0 kPa
    Roof Live or Rain Load = 1.45 kPa
    Wind Load = 1.55 kPa
    The roof is supported by W410 x 60 spaced at
    2.8m on centers. Compute the governing factored
    load per linear meter of the beam based on LRFD
    load combination.

    Sample problem
    3. The interior column of a multi-storey is subjected to
    the following axial loads:
    Dead Load = 900 kN
    Reduced Live Load from Floors = 1100 kN
    Roof Live Load = 200 kN
    Fluid Pressure = 110 kN
    Wind Loads:
    Compression = 560 kN
    Tension = 460 kN
    Earthquake Load:
    Compression = 260 kN
    Tension = 310 kN
    Determine the governing factored column load Pu,
    using the LRFD. Assume that factor f1 = 0.50
