Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given that a school cafeteria has a large open floor with a maximum live load of 100 lb/ft², and assuming a reduced load can be applied for areas greater than 400 ft², calculate the new live load using ASCE7 guidelines.

💡 Hint: Refer to the formulas outlined for reductions.

Question 2

A structural engineer is designing a mixed-use building with a total area of 8000 ft². How should she approach determining the tributary areas for various beams considering the distribution of spaces?

💡 Hint: Visualize and breakdown the load sharing based on the layout of the building.
