Problem 1
No one gave an answer that fully addressed the issues I was looking for in this question, which is my fault. The following answer does pretty well in explaining the uneven force distribution to the frames, but does not fully describe the problems that might arise from torsion.
Problem 2:
The following answer received full credit because it identified four clear points: low floor-to-floor heights, a situation where wind dominated, architectural requirements that was not impeded by braces on the exterior and interior, and a tight budget.
Problem 3:
This problem is closely modelled on the lab exercise, and most people did well.
