Prepare a steel and steel joist materials list for the roof-framing plan shown in Figure 13.18 and determine the number of pounds of joists, beams, and columns that need to be purchased for the roof. The columns are 17 feet high and weigh 76 pounds per foot.
What will be an ideal response?

Weight (lbs) = 5,776 lbs + 4,940 lbs + 6,636 lbs + 1,848 lbs + 7,752 lbs = 26,952 lbs
Weight (tons) = 26,952 lbs / 2,000 lbs per ton = 13.476 tons
