K 2 1. In the single-bay, post-and-beam deck illustrated, planks typically are available in nominal widths of four or six inches, but for the purposes of analysis, it is permissi- ble to assume a unit width equal to one foot. Determine the plank, beam, and column reactions. (Hints: Check Textbook Page 209 Example 4.1. Please note that the number of load on the deck is different from what it is in the example.) Load on the deck (live load, or LL) = 70 psf Deck weight (dead load, or DL) = 8 psf Total load (LL + DL) = 78 psf
