    The document discusses how loads are transferred through a framed structure from beams to columns to foundations. It provides an example of a structure with primary beams supported by columns, and a secondary beam supported by the primary beams. A point load applied to the secondary beam is then transferred to the primary beams and distributed to the supporting columns, with calculations shown to determine the load carried by each column.

    The secondary beam EF in Figure 8 is carrying a point load of 60 kN. It is supported by two primary beams AB and CD, whichinturn are supported byfour columns. Calculate theload carried by eachcolumn. (Ans:26.7kN13.3kN13.3kN 6.7kN)
