Question: Problem No . 1 [ 1 5 marks ] A second - floor office space is shown in Figure 1 and the floor structure consists

Problem No.1[15 marks]
A second-floor office space is shown in Figure 1 and the floor structure consists of the following
components:
Floor system: 3 mm thick vinyl tile installed over a 17 mm thick oriented strand board (OSB)
subfloor. The flooring is supported by a series of joists (38235mm).
Ceiling system: 12 mm thick acoustic ceiling tiles are suspended below the joists.
Mechanical components: A sprinkler system (75Nm2) is added into the ceiling.
Electrical components: Ceiling light and other electrical components (combined load is 50Nm2)
are also added to the ceiling.
You are tasked with analyzing the load distribution within the structural system, consisting of joists,
beams, and columns.
Tributary Widths and Areas:
Determine the tributary widths (in meters) for the joists and beams, and tributary areas (in
square meters) for the columns in the floor system.
Clearly label and show how the tributary areas for the different structural members are
calculated.
Load on Joist J1:
Calculate the total uniform load acting on the interior Joist J1 in kNm.
(Hint: Include the dead load and live load in your calculations.)
Load on Beams B1 and B2:
Calculate the total uniform load acting on Beams B 1 and B 2, in kNm.
(Hint: Consider the load contributions from the joists to the beams.)
Axial Loads on Columns C1, C2, C3:
Determine the total axial load acting on Columns C1,C2, and C3, in kC ,
(Hint: Combine the load contributions from the tributary areas of the beams and joists above
each column.)
Additional Information:
The loads are uniformly distributed across the floor.
Use BCBC 2024 to calculate the applicable live load.
Apply appropriate BCBC 2024 load combinations (i.e., combinations of dead load, and live load)
to determine the total loads acting on the structural members.
Legend:
J1- Floor Joists @ 500 mm spacing (Figure 1 displays fewer joists than are actually_present)
C 1- Interior Column
C 2- Perimeter Columns (along the length of the floor)
C3-Corner Columns
C4- Perimeter Columns (along the width of the floor)
B1- Perimeter Beams
B2-Interior Beams
please provide me a detailed hand calculated solution with diagrams.
