dEPTH OF BEAM EVALUATED USING DEFLECTION CRITERIA

WIDTH = DEPTH/2

FOR COLUMNS, SIZE OF COLUMN APPROXIMATELY RANGES BETWEEN H/10 TO H/20

COLUMNS CAN BE ANY SIZE AS LONG AS ARCHITECTURAL CONSTRAINTS DO NOT RESTRICT ITS
DIMENSIONS.

X-DIRECTION ( DEPTH X WIDTH)

27X14
30X15
33X17
36X18
Y-DIRECTION (DEPTH X WIDTH)
21X11
24X12
27X14
30X15
33X17
36X18
BEAM DEPTHS: MULTIPLE OF 3'SINCE COLUMN HEIGHT MUST MATCH THE HEIGHT OF THE WALL
THAT WILL BE SUPPORTED BY THE BEAM.
BEAM WIDTH IS APPROXIMATELY EQUAL TO BEAM HEIGHT/2
BEAM HEIGHT PREFERABLY MUST NOT GO BEYOND 3'IN DEPTH DUE TO ARCHITECTURAL CONSTR
AINTS
BEAM WIDTHS CAN BE DICTACTED BY WIDTH OF BRICKS (9") or column widths.

Modifiers:
Columns moi 3-3 & moi 2-20.35
Floor slabs bending modifiers (all) 0.25
Ramp slab bending modifiers (all) 0.25
Shear wall bending modifers (all)0.25

always mark columns in plan, not in elevation, since in plan columns marked on a
ll stories.
