PROBLEM $1$:

The steel framework is used to support the reinforced stone concrete slab that is used for an office. The slab is $200mm$

thick. Sketch the loading that acts along members BE and FED. Take $a=2m,b=5m.$ Hint: See Tables $1-2$ and $1-4.$

a$.$ Determine whether it is a one$-$way slab or two$-$way slab.

b$.$ Determine the live load for the office.

c$.$ Determine the vertical support reactions at $B$ and $E.$
