Question: The superimposed live load is 4 0 psf , the superimposed dead load is 1 5 psf and the slab has a self - weight

The superimposed live load is 40 psf, the superimposed dead load is 15 psf and the slab has a self-weight of 80 psf. Size of the beams are shown in the figure. Assume all connections are simple connections unless otherwise specified (e.g. transfers shear but not moment). Do not consider live load reduction
- Calculate the live and dead loads acting on Beam B,3-4. Present your answers on free body diagrams (one for dead load, one for live load) and include end forces.
- For the Beam B,3-4, use the max live and dead load shear and moment values to calculate the required shear strength (Vu) and moment strength (Mu) for the LRFD load combinations.
The superimposed live load is 4 0 psf , the
