Question: Estimate the loads applied on the Beam 1 , including the load transferred from Slabs 1 and 2 ( self - weight of slabs )

Estimate the loads applied on the Beam 1, including the load transferred from Slabs 1 and 2(self-weight of slabs), the self-weight of Beam 1 and the water tank load. Note that the water tank load may be idealised as a point load. Please also note that there are also other types of loads, which should be considered for practical design, but for simplicity they are not considered here.
(a) Transfer of self-weight of Slabs 1 and 2 to surrounding beams (simplified
(b) Transfer of self-weight of Slabs 1 and 2 to Beam 1
