In your new employment, you have been tasked to adopt lean practices to deliver a quality building project. This requirement is part of your company's goals. At the same time, you are required to integrate green practices as a compliance with the country's National Building Regulations/Codes. Is there any difference between both lean and green (green building) practices? And how will you ensure a balance between both requirements?

Design the lightest W16 tension member section of steel of Fy= 50 ksi, Fu= 65 ksi to support a tensile service dead load PD = 270 k and a tensile service load PL= 220 k. the member is to be 53 ft. long the member is to have two lines of bolts in each flange for 7/8-in bolts (there are three in a line 4 in on center). At the end you should make the necessary checks.

Choose the largest room in your house/apartment and measure the area.
Let's say the room is (8*4)
Steel yield stress (fy = 60000 psi)
Concrete ultimate compressive strength (f’c = 4000 psi)
Reinforced concrete density = 150 lb/ft3.
Normal weight concrete is used.
The slab is treated as a one way slab and subjected to a dead load of 120 psf (excluding the self-weight of the slab) and a live load of 220 psf.
a.The slab is supported by beams on the edges.
b.There is a column at each corner of the slab supporting the beams.
c.Each beam is sitting on a non-load-bearing wall.
Design
- The slab
- The beams
- The columns
