Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A building's dead load is 300 kN, the live load is 100 kN, and it must endure a wind load of 50 kN. Using the combination 0.9D + 1.6W + 1.6H, calculate the factored load.
💡 Hint: Substitute and calculate each load using the coefficients.
Question 2
Design a structure considering a dead load of 250 kN, a live load of 150 kN, and a seismic load of 40 kN using 1.2D + 1.0L + 1.0E.
💡 Hint: Apply provided coefficients to each load type.
