Question: The factored uniformly distributed loads ( wu ) and concentrated loads ( Pu ) for Girder 6 - 9 on Line B for the following.

The factored uniformly distributed loads (wu) and concentrated loads (Pu) for Girder 6-9 on Line B for
the following. The girder supports both an interior portion (via joists) and an exterior balcony (no joists);
see the diagram on the next page. Once all loads are determined, draw the applied loads on a sketch of the
beam. [3 points]
a. Interior loading:
i. The live load is patient rooms
ii.5-in. thick concrete slab (unit weight =150 pcf)
iii. Concrete joist self-weight (8-in. x 15-in. joist; unit weight =150 pcf)
iv. Second floor flooring: Hardwood flooring
v. First floor ceiling: Suspended steel channel system plus a mechanical duct allowance
b. Exterior loading:
i. The exterior live load is an exterior balcony
ii.5-in. thick concrete slab (unit weight =150 pcf)
iii. Exterior flooring: Linoleum or asphalt tile
c. Girder self-weight =450 lbs/ft.
Hint: The interior portion is supported by joists identical to what you computed previously in Problem 2. The
exterior balcony supported by this girder has no joists
The factored uniformly distributed loads ( wu )
