Situation 5. A three-story building has
interior columns spaced 8m apart in
two perpendicular directions. The
design loads for the building are as
follows:

DL: 5.0 kPa (Roof)

7.0 kPa (typical for each floor)

LL: 0 (Roof Deck)

6.0 kPa (2nd Floor)
2.4 kPa (3rd Floor)

Recognizing that the probability of

supporting a large fully loaded
tributary area is small, building
codes permit reductions. Use the
attached alternate floor live load
reduction provisions.

13. What is the total axial load (kN) on

an interior column at the second-floor
level due to service LL?
A. 153.6 C. 76.3
B. 164.5 D. 82.3

14. What is the total axial load (kN) on

an interior column at the ground floor
level due to service LL?
A. 287.9 C. 246.8
B. 466.3 D. 288.3

15. What is the total axial dead load (kN)

on an interior column at the ground
floor level?
A. 1,664 C. 995
B. 768 D. 1216

Note: Live load reduction is not

applicable for floors in places of
public assembly and for live loads
greater than 4.8 kPa. For influence
area Ai, consider all area with live
load that can be reduced, that
influence the column being considered
(area projected above).
