Question 1:
A concrete floor with two slabs is supported by steel beams, as shown in Figure 1. The floor
dimensions are 5.0 m by 8.0 m . The concrete slab thickness is 120 mm with a density of 24.5
kNm3. The floor is supported by five beams. The imposed load on the slabs is 3.0 kPa as a live
load. The self-weight of the beams is negligible. Beam A is a secondary beam with both ends
pinned. Beam B is a primary beam with both ends fixed.
Please:
a) Calculate the design floor pressures for Ultimate Limit State (ULS) and Serviceability
Limit State (SLS) checks on the floor.
b) Plot the unfactored bending moment diagram of beam A for deflection check under
SLS.
e) Plot the factored bending moment diagram of beam B for strength cheek under ULS.
c) Determine the factored applied forces on beam B for strength check under ULS.
Notes: Please provide detailed calculation steps.
