The balcony located on the third floor of a motel is shown in the photo below. It is constructed using a 100-mm thick concrete (plain stone) which rests on the four simply supported floor beams, two cantilevered sides girders AB and HG, and the front and rear girders. The idealized framing plan with average dimensions is shown on the adjacent figure. According to local code, the balcony live load is 2kN/m ² .Draw the shear and moment diagrams for the front girder BG and a side girder AB. Assume the front girder is a channel that has a weight of 0.36kN/m and the side girder are wide flange sections that have a weight of 0.66kN/m ² .Neglect the weight of the floor beams and front railing. For this solution treat each of the five slabs as two-way slabs. Given that plain Stone Concrete has a minimum design dead load of 0.023 kN/m ² per 1 mm .
