A 3m by 6m floor slab rests on beams which are supported in

A 3m by 6m floor slab rests on beams, which are supported in turn by columns as shown schematically in the figure. The design loading on the floor is 8 kN/m The distributed loading on the beams (excluding the self-weight of the beams) is (a)12 kN/m (c) 48 kN/m; (b) 24 N (d) 12 kN For the structure shown in 014, the column load (excluding the self-weight of the beams and (b) 36k (d) 12 N/m N/m (a) 48 kN; (c) 36 kN

Solution

1) Distribute load = (8*3)/2 = 12 kn/m ( Distribute load in KN/m)

2) column load = (12*6)/2 = 36 KN ( point load on column)
