PLAN
Assume that the floor between Beams B and B is supported directly by these two beams only not by Girders G and G ie the floor is a "oneway" slab Beam B has a selfweight of plf The floor slab consists of a inthick, normalweight, reinforced concrete slab unit weight An additional floor dead load of psf is specified to account for the weight of suspended utilities and fixtures. As an exterior beam, B must also support one story of a inthick brick wall facade. Assume that the brick wall weighs per inch of wall thickness per square foot of wall surface area. The height of each story is Perform the following tasks for Beam B:
a Compute the tributary area.
b Draw a freebody diagram of the beam that includes all the dead loads that act on the beam.
Repeat Problem assuming the floor is supported on all four sides B B G G and reinforced in both directions ie the floor is a "twoway" slab
For the rest of the problems, assume oneway framing throughout the structure. Perform the following tasks for Girder G:
a Compute the tributary area
b Compute the influence area
c Draw a freebody diagram of the girder showing only the live loads that act on the girder use liveload reduction if allowable
Compute the total live load in lbs that must be resisted by the first story of Column C Use liveload reduction where allowed.
