A single-story office building is being built in a New Jersey coastal county with an expected occupancy of approximately 70-100 people. The building will have a flat roof and a mean roof height of $$15\mathrm{ft}$$. The structure is primarily wood (joists/beams, girders, and studs/columns) with asphalt roof shingles. It will be built in a suburban area and be partially exposed to potential snow conditions. Wind is considered as acting in the xdirartinn ac chnown be designed with consideration snow and wind loads. Figure 2.2. 3D view of single story office building 1) Determine the loading for the roof joist B7. The wood beams have a self-weight of $$1.28\mathrm{lb}/\mathrm{ft}$$ and support 230psf of Built-Up Roofing (BUR) material. Since this is a flat roof, consider a uniform snow load across the roof. If we consider $$B7$$ to be a simply supported beam, what are the reactions to support the combined snow, wind, dead, and roof live load conditions? (Note: wood design uses ASD for combining loads). Determine the wind load acting on the windward wall ( $$p)$$. Consider the structure to be rigid and enclosed with a mean roof height of $$15\mathrm{ft}$$. Draw the wind load you found as it would be acting on column/stud C2 (ground to roof) per Figure 27.4-1 (ASCE 7-10). Determine the horizontal reactions (x-direction) at the roof and ground supports. We are only interested in the reactions in the $$x$$-direction for this problem, therefore, you DO NOT need to consider the uplift force on the column.
