Question

1. What is the Live Load Q as per the Limit Design Method for Rudolphs dance routines based on the assumed velocity of his movements and leaps?

2. What type of house would you recommend that Rudolph's purchase and why?

Rudolph is a male professional ballet dancer who is looking for a new house. He wants to purchase a typical residential house which will suit his budget and his lifestyle. Being a professional dancer is a regime not just a job, and this means that Rudolph needs to train and rehearse on a daily basis. Hence, Rudolph intends to practice his dance routines in the lounge room of his new house on a frequent basis. Rudolph is your auntie's protégé, and since you are a qualified Structural Engineer, she has asked you to assist Rudolph in finding a suitable house. You have had a meeting with Rudolph and obtained information that will assist you in analysing suitable houses and this information effectively forms your specification for this 'project'. As a part of the decision-making process, you need to determine the following: Assumptions Size of average male foot - 330 mm x 120 mnm Ball of male foot 165 mm x 120 mm Mass of average-sized male ballet dancer- 85 kg Maximum velocity Rudolph can attain is 5.88* m/s and he attains this velocity in 4.5 seconds from a stopped position; generally, he can continue at this velocity of 5.88 m/s or greater for at least 20 seconds. Consider Rudolph's movements in this regard in terms of a vehicle. [This velocity assumes Rudolph is capable of running 100 m in approximately 17 seconds, this is well below the Olympic records of most contemporary male athletes (Usain Bolt of Jamaica achieved a distance of 100 m in 9.68 seconds at the Olympics)] . Rudolph's leaps 1.5 m above the ground and landing on the ball of one foot.
