The document outlines the various loads acting on a column in a building, including dead, live, snow, rain, wind, and seismic loads. It presents calculations for different load combinations using Excel, ultimately determining the critical design load to be 59.2 kips. This value represents the controlling ACI load combination for the column's structural design.

PROBLEM 2 :

A COLUMN IN THE UPPER STOREY OF A BUILDING IS A SUBJECTED TO THE FOLLOWING LOADS :

TYPE OF LOAD LOAD UNIT


Dead Load 26 kips
Live Load 15 kips
Roof Live Load 5 kips
Snow Load 8 kips
Rain Load 5 kips
Compression 8 kips
Wind load
Tension -8 kips
Compression 0 kips
Seismic or Earthquake Load Effects
Tension 0 kips
ALL LOADS ARE COMPRESSION EXCEPT FOR THE WIND LOAD, WHIC CAN BE EITHER TENSION OR COMPRESSION.
DETERMINE THE CONTROLLING ACI LOAD COMBINATION AND THE CORRESPONDING FACTORED LOAD.

COMPUTATION USING EXCEL SOFTWARE :


LOAD COMBINATION RESULT UNIT
U = 1.4D 36.4 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5Lr 57.7 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lr or S or R) U = 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5S 59.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5R 57.7 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6Lr + 1.0L 54.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6Lr + 0.5W 43.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6Lr + 0.5W 43.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6S + 1.0L 59 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S or R)+(1.0L or 0.5W) U = 1.2D + 1.6S + 0.5W 48 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6S + 0.5W 48 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6R + 1.0L 54.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6R + 0.5W 43.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.6R + 0.5W 43.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5Lr 56.7 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5Lr 56.7 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5S 58.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5S 58.2 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5R 56.7 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + 1.0L + 0.5R 56.7 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0E + 1.0L + 0.2S 46.4 kips
U = 1.2D + 1.0E + 1.0L
U = 1.2D + 1.0E + 1.0L + 0.2S 46.4 kips
U = O.9D + 1.0W 31.4 kips
U = O.9D + 1.0W
U = O.9D + 1.0W 31.4 kips
U = 0.9D +1.0E 23.4 kips
U = 0.9D +1.0E
U = 0.9D +1.0E 23.4 kips
CRITICAL DESIGN LOAD 59.2 kips

FINDINGS/CONCLUSION:
Therefore the resulted critical design load is 59.2k
