A three-story building has interior columns spaced 8m apart in design loads for the building are as follows: DL: 5.0 kPa (Roof) 7.0 kPa (typical for each floor) LL: 0 (Roof Deck) 6.0 kPa (2nd Floor) 2.4 kPa (3rd Floor) Recognizing that the probability of supporting a large fully loaded tributary area is small, building codes permit reduction. Use the attached alternate floor live load reduction provisions. What is the total axial load on an interior column at the ground floor level due to service LL?
