Class Project Design of Steel Structures 0908435 Problem statement: The roof deck over a swimming pool, with supports, shown, is to be designed. Note that there is no vertical column at B. The entire roof is braced in the northsouth direction. Loads on the flat roof (BCD) are 50 PSF dead load and 75 PSF snow load. Assume that the lateral loads on AB and DF are negligible, and all member selfweights can be ignored. Assume all connections sustain no moment. The permissible deflection of all members is span/180. (1) Design the 30 ' joists, spaced at 6', as A36 channel-sections. Assume they are continuously braced against lateral-torsional buckling. (2) Design beam CC as an A992 wide-flange. Beam CC is unbraced except at its ends and by the joists. (3) Design beams BB and DD as A992 wide-flanges. They are unbraced except at their ends and by the joists. (4) Find the ultimate axial force in typical interior member AB. Design typical interior member
