    Preliminary Beam Size Calculation: Using NSCP

    Uploaded by

    Karl Vencer
    The document provides preliminary calculations to determine the beam and column sizes for a structure. For the beam, it calculates the minimum required depth and width based on given load and material properties to be 600x350 mm, but recommends trying a larger size of 800x350 mm. For the column, it calculates required cross-sectional areas and dimensions for a range of steel ratios to support the given loads, recommending a column size of 750x750 mm.
