Estimate the forces in the diagonals used in the tower to support the cantilevered areas and the forces in the beam directly supported by the diagonals. This requires tracing the loads through the floor system, including the load from the exterior wall (assume a faade weight of 40 psf supported at each floor level (on L3 x3 shown in figure on p47 of Case Study file)).

Given: Tower floors design loads 50 psf live load and 80 psf dead load
