 Question 1

Q1. Check the adequacy of the footing shown for:

(1) Shear
(2) Flexure
(3) Can the column transfer 800 kips to the footing? Ignore vertical reinforcement.

Use f’c = 4ksi and Grade 60 steel.

 Question 2

The first four floors of a multistory building are shown below. The lateral load-resisting frame
consists of 22 x 22 in. exterior columns, 26 in. x 26 in. interior columns and 33 in. wide by 18 in.
deep girders. The foundation is at the ground level and may be considered as fully fixed against
rotation. The first-story columns have a clear height to the girder soffit of 21 ft 6 in. giving a
floor-to-floor height of 23 ft. The upper floors have a center-to-center spacing of 13 ft.

For the first story columns, the service gravity dead and live loads plus the horizontal and vertical
wind loads based on an elastic first-order analysis of the frame are:

A1 and F1 B1 and E1 C1 and D1

PD 495 kips 1090 kips 989 kips
PL 99 kips 206 kips 188 kips
PW ±32 kips ±19 kips ±6 kips
VW 11 kips 22 kips 22 kips
M2D 4 ft-kips
M2L 70 ft-kips
M2W 240 ft-kips
M1D -2 ft-kips
M1L -35 ft-kips
M1W -240 ft-kips

A matrix analysis for the total unfactored wind shear of 110 kips using values of E and I
specified in 10.10.4.1 indicates that the relative lateral deflection of the second story is 0.4 in.

(A) What is Q?
(B) What is δs?
(C) What are design values Pu and Mu for column B1?

 Question 3

The flat plate floor shown below supports a superimposed dead load of 25 psf and a live load of 60
psf. The slab extends 4 in. past the exterior face of the column to support an exterior wall that weighs
400 lb/ft of length of wall. The story-to-story height is 9 ft. Use 4500 psi concrete and Grade 60
reinforcement.

(a) Select the slab thickness

(b) Check shear and moment transfer at column A2. Neglect unbalanced moments
about column line 2.
