Question: Problem No . 1 [ 1 5 marks ] A second - floor office space is shown in Figure 1 and the floor structure consists
Problem No marks
A secondfloor office space is shown in Figure and the floor structure consists of the following
components:
Floor system: mm thick vinyl tile installed over a mm thick oriented strand board OSB
subfloor. The flooring is supported by a series of joists
Ceiling system: mm thick acoustic ceiling tiles are suspended below the joists.
Mechanical components: A sprinkler system is added into the ceiling.
Electrical components: Ceiling light and other electrical components combined load is
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 J:
Calculate the total uniform load acting on the interior Joist J in
Hint: Include the dead load and live load in your calculations.
Load on Beams B and B:
Calculate the total uniform load acting on Beams B and B in
Hint: Consider the load contributions from the joists to the beams.
Axial Loads on Columns C C C:
Determine the total axial load acting on Columns and 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 to calculate the applicable live load.
Apply appropriate BCBC load combinations ie combinations of dead load, and live load
to determine the total loads acting on the structural members.
