The dead load of the 9.5” x 1.75” aluminum extrusion shown on the d detail has (based on the indicated cross-sectional area of 1.60855 sq. in. and sity of 0.10 Ibs per cubic inch) a dead load of 0.1 x 1.60855 x 12 x 12/9.5 = 3 psf as shown in the Respondent’s calculations. The formulae used by Respondent to calculate the bending capacity of the vere intended for use in the design of rectangular reinforced concrete beam. . included to reflect the strength concrete and reinforcing steel but there is no orcing steel in the aluminum extrusion in question. Consequently, these 10 rational relationship to the bleacher planks. The calculations to determine the moment imposed on the aluminum failed to recognize that that moment is simply equal to the force multiplied by Thus the correct value is 200 Ibs x35 = 700 ft Ibs — not 1225 foot pounds as ‘ondent.
