Example 1-1
The floor beam in the figure below is used to support the 2 m width of a
lightweight plain concrete slab having a thickness of 10 cm. The slab serves as a
portion of the ceiling for the floor below, and therefore its bottom is coated with
plaster (25 kg/m
2
). Furthermore, an 2.5 m height, 30 cm thick masonry wall is
directly over the top flange of the beam. Determine the loading on the beam
measured per foot of length of the beam.

Example 1-2a
A two-story office building has interior columns that are spaced 7 m apart in two
perpendicular directions. If the (flat) roof loading is 100 kg/m

determine the

Since A

above the ground during a 50-year recurrence period. Values are obtained from
a wind map.
I = the importance factor that depends upon the nature of the building occupancy
(see Table 1-6)
K
z

The building shown in the figure is used for industrial purpose and is located
outside of Nakhon Ratchasima, Thailand on flat terrain. When the wind is
directed as shown, determine the design wind pressure acting on the roof and
sides of the building using the ANSI / ASCE 7-95 Specifications. Use G = 0.85.

2.) 0.75 [1.4D + 1.7L + 1.7W]
3.) 0.9D + 1.3W
4.) 1.4D + 1.7L + 1.7(soil pressure)
5.) 0.75 [1.4D + 1.7(temperature load) + 1.7L]
6.) 1.4(D + temperature load)
Steel Structures
1.) 1.4D
2.) 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(roof live load)
3.) 1.2D + 0.5L (or 0.8W) + 1.6(roof live load)
4.) 1.2D + 0.5L + 0.5(roof live load) + 1.3W
5.) 1.2D + 0.5L + 1.5E
6.) 0.9D -1.3W (or 1.5E)
Allowable Stress Design (ASD)
1.) D + L + [roof live load]
2.) D + L + [W or E]
Where, D = Dead load, L = Live load , W = Wind load , E = Earthquake load
