Dead Load Calculation

Example 1.1

The floor beam in Fig. 1–8 is used to support the 6-ft width
of a lightweight plain concrete slab having a thickness of 4
in. The slab serves as a portion of the ceiling for the floor
below, and therefore its bottom is coated with plaster.
Furthermore, an 8-ft-high, 12-in.- thick lightweight solid
concrete block wall is directly over the top flange of the
beam. Determine the loading on the beam measured per
foot of length of the beam.

Live Load Calculation

Example 1.2

A two-story office building shown in the photo has interior


columns that are spaced 22 ft apart in two perpendicular
directions. If the (flat) roof loading is 20 lb/ft2, determine
the reduced live load supported by a typical interior column
located at ground level.
