Q1.

A two-story hotel has interior columns for the rooms that are spaced 6 m apart
in two perpendicular directions. Determine the permanent and variable actions
supported by a typical interior column on the first floor under the public rooms. You
may assume a slab thickness of 150 mm and you may assume a variable action of 2.0
kN/m2 for public rooms.

Q2:

Determine the horizontal and vertical components of reaction at the pins A, B, and C
of the structure shown in Figure Q2.
