Problem 2.5


SOLUTION

Because the live loads on the floors are equal to 100 psf, f1 = 0.5. The
seismic load effect, E, is determined as follows:
For use in IBC Equation 16-5: E = Eh + Ev = QE + 0.2SDSD
= (1.0 × QE) + (0.2 × 0.41 × D) = QE + 0.08D
For use in IBC Equation 16-7: E = Eh – Ev = QE – 0.2SDSD
= (1.0 × QE) – (0.2 × 0.41 × D) = QE – 0.08D
Substituting for E, IBC Equation 16-5 becomes: 1.2D + QE + 0.08D + 0.5L = 1.28D + QE + 0.5L Similarly,
IBC Equation 16-7 becomes: 0.9D + QE – 0.08D = 0.82D + QE

4 Solutions Manual to Structural Loads


Problem 2.6


SOLUTION

Because the shear wall is in a parking garage, f1 = 1.0. The
seismic load effect, E, is determined as follows:
For use in IBC Equation 16-5: E = Eh + Ev = QE + 0.2SDSD
= (1.0 × QE) + (0.2 × 1.0 × D) = QE + 0.2D
For use in IBC Equation 16-7: E = Eh – Ev = QE – 0.2SDSD
= (1.0 × QE) – (0.2 × 1.0 × D) = QE – 0.2D
Substituting for E, IBC Equation 16-5 becomes: 1.2D + QE + 0.2D + 1.0L = 1.4D + QE + 1.0L. Similarly, IBC
Equation 16-7 becomes: 0.9D + QE – 0.2D = 0.7D + QE

Problem 2.7


SOLUTION

The governing load combination in IBC 1605.2 is Equation 16-2: Negative
bending moment:
1.2D + 1.6L = (1.2 × 80.6) + (1.6 × 42.1) = 164.1 ft-kips
Positive bending moment:
1.2D + 1.6L = (1.2 × 53.7) + (1.6 × 30.4) = 113.1 ft-kips

Shear force:
1.2D + 1.6L = (1.2 × 29.7) + (1.6 × 19.0) = 66.0 kips

Chapter 2 5
The following basic combinations for strength design with overstrength are also applicable:

• (1.2 + 0.2S
) D + OQE + 1.0L
D
Axial force: OQE = 2.0 241 = 482 kips tension or compression Negative
bending moment:
(1.2 + 0.2SDS)D + 1.0L = (1.38 80.6) + (1.0 42.1) = 153.3 ft-kips
Positive bending moment:
(1.2 + 0.2SDS)D + 1.0L = (1.38 53.7) + (1.0 30.4) = 104.5 ft-kips
Shear force:
(1.2 + 0.2SDS)D + 1.0L = (1.38 29.7) + (1.0 19.0) = 60.0 kips
Note that the load factor on L must be equal to 1.0 because of the assembly occupancy.

• (0.9 – 0.2SDS)D + OQE
Axial force: OQE = 2.0 241 = 482 kips tension or compression Negative
bending moment:
(0.9 – 0.2SDS)D = 0.72 80.6 = 58.0 ft-kips
Positive bending moment:
(0.9 – 0.2SDS)D = 0.72 53.7 = 38.7 ft-kips
Shear force:
(0.9 – 0.2SDS)D = 0.72 29.7 = 21.4 kips




Problem 2.8


SOLUTION

The governing load combination in IBC 1605.3.1 is Equation 16-9:
Negative bending moment:
D + L = 80.6 + 42.1 = 122.7 ft-kips
Positive bending moment:
D + L = 53.7 + 30.4 = 84.1 ft-kips
Shear force:
D + L = 29.7 + 19.0 = 48.7 kips
