Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Given a flat roof with a live load of 2.5 kN/m² and a dead load of 1.2 kN/m², calculate the total load and assess if it meets safety standards if the safety factor is defined as 1.5.
💡 Hint: Ensure to understand your safety load factors when assessing.
If a truss experiences wind uplift of 1.8 kN/m² and a permissible uplift design factor is 1.4, calculate the safe uplift load that can be accommodated in truss design.
💡 Hint: Remember, calculate based on the permissible uplift factors.
