Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building has a dead load of 50 kN/m and a live load of 30 kN/m. What is the total vertical load per meter?

💡 Hint: Add both loads together to find the total.

Question 2

A structural frame has vertical loads applied at different floors with different inflection points. Calculate the reactions at the base if the first floor has a live load of 20 kN and the second floor has a dead load of 15 kN.

💡 Hint: Consider the types of loads acting at each level and sum them up.
