system is created in this way to allow the future expanding to the east or to the
west.
The roof sheatting is realized with APA Structural I panels that have
common dimensions of 4x8 ft. The thickness is 15/32 inch and span ratio 48/24
inch o.c., which are nailed with 10d common nails every 6o.c at edges of the
panel and 12o.c for intermediate supports. The panels in the roof sheating are not
blocked.
The structural frame will be supported by a concrete slab-on-grade system
placed over a subgrade that is consistent with the pending geotechnical report.
Gravitational load vertically directed wind and snow loads are applied on the roof.
The roof is composed by the roof plywood sheating, which transfers the loads to
the purlings (benting members). From purilings, the loads are transferred to the
truss systems (system of axial compression and tension members). The north
and the south walls support truss systems. They will transfer the loads from
trusses to foundation. Half of the loads between the west wall and truss system
and between the east wall and truss system and is directly taken by those two
walls. The weight of the wall is directly taken by the walls.

3. DESIGN CRITERIA
The design publications listed below will be used as sources of criteria for
structural design. The criteria from these sources may be supplemented, but not
supplanted, by applicable criteria contained in nationally recognized codes, standards,
and specifications.
Design Loads
Dead Loads (D) (always vertical - down lift)
Truss = 419.3 lbs/truss
Walls = 20 psf
Ceiling (Suspended Metal Lath & Gypsum Plaster) = 10 psf
Roof (Tiles - Ceramic) = 15 psf
Superimposed (MEP) = 10 psf
Plywood (15/32 inch) = 1.5 psf
Purlin (2x4 spaced 24o.c) = 5 psf
Floor Live Load (L) = 100 psf (always vertical - down lift)
Roof Live Load (RL) = 20 psf (always vertical - down lift)
Snow Load (S) = 10 psf (always vertical - down lift)
Wind Load (W) = 30 psf (always orthogonal to the surface - pressure and
suction)
Seismic Load (E) = 3% of total Dead Load (it is assumed that the seismic
loads are applied in horizontal direction)

Load Combinations
The ASCE7-10 prescribes load combinations for structural design of
structural elements used in allowable stress design (ASD):
LC 1
LC 2
LC 3
LC 4
LC 5
LC 6a
LC 6b
LC 7
LC 8
D
D+L
D + (RL or S or R)
D + 0.75L + 0.75(RL or S or R)
D + (0.6W or 0.7E)
D + 0.75L + 0.75(0.6W) + 0.75(RL or S or R)
D + 0.75L + 0.75(0.6R) + 0.75S
0.6D + 0.6W
0.6D + 0.7E
It is established that the total seismic load (E), which acts in horizontal
direction is minor that the horizontal component of the resultant wind load, for
both directions of the wind (N-S and W-E). This means the wind loads (W) will
control the design.
The roof live loads (RL) are higher than snow loads (S). Since, those loads
have the same direction and orientation, for all roof members, the design will be
controlled by the roof live loads (RL).
The live loads (L) are applied on the concrete slab, which is not the object
of design. In this design is assumed to be zero (L = 0).
Finally, the load combinations, when those conditions are applied, are:
LC 1
LC 3
LC 5
LC 6a
LC 7
4.3.
D
D + RL
D + 0.6W
D + 0.75L + 0.75(0.6W) + 0.75RL
0.6D + 0.6W
Deflections
For bending members, max deflections are minor than L/240 in case,
when is applied dead loads with other types of load. They are also minor than
L/360 in case when is applied dead loads with other types of load.
For truss system, the max deflection in correspondence of the mid point
has deflection that is minor than L/1000.
