Determine the external wind pressure on the roof of the rigid-gabled frame of a school building shown in Fig. P2.13. The structure is located in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois, where the terrain is representative of exposure B and the basic wind speed for risk category III buildings is 51 mys. Assume the wind direction is normal to the ridge as shown. Use Kd 50.85 for main wind-force resisting systems, and Ke =1.

- 13.2. A reinforced concrete building floor system consists of a continuous one-way slab built monolithically with its supporting beams, as shown in cross section in Fig. P13.2. Service live load will be 6 kN/m². Dead loads include a 0.5 kN/m2 allowance for nonstructural lightweight concrete floor fill and sur- face, and a 0.5 kN/m² allowance for suspended loads, plus the self-weight of the floor. Using ACI coefficients from Chapter 12, calculate the design moments and shears and design the slab, using a maximum tensile reinforce- ment ratio of 0.006. Use all straight bar reinforcement. One-half of the positive-moment bars will be discontinued where no longer required; the other half will be continued into the supporting beams as specified by the ACI Code. All negative steel will be discontinued at the same distance from the support face in each case. Summarize your design with a sketch showing concrete dimensions, and size, spacing, and cutoff points for all reinforcement.
