Assignment:
Q1. A beam that is part of a rigid frame has end moments and mid-span moments for dead, live, and earthquake loads shown below. Determine the governing load combination for both negative and positive moments at the ends and mid-span of the beam. Earthquake load can act in either direction, generating both negative and positive moments in the beam.
Q2. Calculate the vertical hydrostatic load on the 5100-lb empty shipping container in Figure subjected to a tsunami inundation height of 3'. Assuming the container is water-tight, will the tsunami wave be capable of carrying away the container as debris?
Provide complete and step by step solution for the question and show calculations and use formulas.
