Question 1

Per ASCE 7-22 Table 4.3-1, what is the typical minimum uniformly distributed live load for office buildings (general office areas)?

40 psf 50 psf 60 psf 100 psf

Correct Answer:

50 psf

Question 2

An interior column on the second floor of a four-story office building supports a tributary area of 800 sq ft per floor for three floors above. Using ASCE 7-22 live load reduction (KLL = 4 for an interior column), what is the reduction multiplier applied to the unreduced live load?

1.00 (no reduction permitted) 0.50 0.40 0.25

Correct Answer:

0.40

Question 3

Per ASCE 7-22, the flat-roof snow load pf is computed as pf = 0.7·Ce·Ct·Is·pg. A heated commercial building (Risk Category II) sits in a partially exposed terrain with pg = 40 psf. With Ce = 1.0, Ct = 1.0, and Is = 1.0, what is pf?

20 psf 28 psf 32 psf 40 psf

Correct Answer:

28 psf

Question 4

Per ASCE 7-22, a structure heated to keep interior temperature above 50°F is considered which thermal category, and what is its Ct value?

Heated, Ct = 1.0 Heated, Ct = 1.1 Unheated, Ct = 1.2 Open-air, Ct = 1.3

Correct Answer:

Heated, Ct = 1.0

Question 5

On a sloped roof in ASCE 7-22, the sloped-roof snow load is ps = Cs·pf. A warm (Ct ≤ 1.0) unobstructed slippery roof has Cs = 1.0 from 0° to what slope before Cs begins to decrease?

5° 15° 30° 45°

Correct Answer:

15°
