LOAD DISTRIBUTION (50 PTS)
Determine the ultimate load distribution acting on all beams and girders in the given floor framing below.
Assume that the supports are simply supported. Compute for the reactions and loads in each beam. Assume
unit weight of concrete to be 23.6kNm3. Always simplify your load distributions (distributed loads acting on
the same points/locations should be added up).
Monolithic Floor
All concrete slabs, t=100mm
All concrete beams, b=250mm;h=500mm
All concrete columns, 300mm300mm
Superimposed Loads
Floor Finish:
Ceramic tile 12 inch mortar
Ceiling:
Wood furring
Gypsum board 14 inch thick
Mechanical Duct Allowance (MDA)
Frame Partition:
Wood, studs with gypsum board h=2.8m
Utilities: twice the weight of MDA
Exterior Walls
