Library - Utilities

In this activity, I put my library on the site plan and drew five lines to connect my library to various utilities.



Reflection
This activity wasn't too hard. It was just a little difficult to align the library on the pad because it lagged a lot.

Activity 3.2.9

In this activity, I made calculations having to do with footings for different situations.

Here are my calculations:
Reflection
This activity was kind of difficult, but it was short which made it easier.

Activity 3.2.6

In this activity, I did calculations to find out which beams to use.

Here are my calculations and MD solids diagrams:









Reflections
This activity was kind of difficult but once I got going with it, it got easier.

Beam Analysis Shortcuts - Activity 3.2.4

In this activity, I did used equations to figure out the end reactions and maximum moments of the same beams in activity 3.2.3. Also, I used MD solids to make shear and moment diagrams.














Reflection
This activity was a lot easier than 3.2.3 because I did the 3.2.3 activity before it and was able to get a pretty good handle on what I was doing. Also, I just had to plug in numbers into an equation instead of going through the whole process of trying to look at the beam and figure out where to go from there.

Beam Analysis - Activity 3.2.3

In this project, I went through Activity 3.2.3 and calculated the reactions and moments and made shear and moment diagrams.








Reflection
This activity was kind of difficult. I didn't really get what we were supposed to do and how to do it. However, as I went through it, I got the hang of it and my work got a lot neater.

Keystone Library - Roof Framing

In this project, we made calculations and figured out what roof joists to use.

Here is a picture of my roof framing sheet

Reflection
This project was difficult because there were a lot of calculations. However, I was able to understand it and finish the project.
