The class performed the story of the old woman and the pig, news farm news Des By Ron Fleming Huron ag. engineer Spring is the time of year when many farm building projects are started. Since many of these building projects are built by the farmer, it is important that there be an understanding of the types of loads which the building is subjected to. The main loads which we have to consider in this area are dead load, live loads due to use and occupancy, wind loads and snow loads The dead load refers to the weight of the building materials used in the building. Pouring a concrete floor in the second storey of the barn would be an example of dead load, and a 4 in. thick floor would have a weight of approximately 50 ,pounds per square foot. Live loads take into con- sideration the loads due to animals housed in a building as well as loads due to tractors and other equipment which might be on a floor. These loads are important when designing slatted floors especially. The most commonly overlooked loading ion -a building is the wind load. in the Clinton area, we can expect a horizontal , force ,.of up to 5.5 lb .:per sq. it. on .a vertical wall, .and in .a thigh - walled building such .as .a machinery shed, this may le enought to collapse the building without .adequate knee bracing. Tte wind exerts a considerable force -on the roof of a building as well and this force is in .an hupward direction; therefore, the roof has to be fastened :down well enough to withstand this force. One of the biggest concerns when designing buildings in Huron County is the snow load. The amount of snow which settles on .a roof -is influenced to a small degree by the slope of the roof. A more important con- sideration, however, is whether the building is ex- posed to the wind orprotected from the wind. An exposed building is likely to be blown fairly clear Rabbjt 441 Cmeets The first meeting of he Central Huron 4-H Rabbit Club was held at the home of leader George Townsend on April 25.
