PROBLEM 1
The pre-cast T-beam has the cross-section
shown. Determine its weight per meter length if
it is made from reinforced stone concrete and
eight 20-mm cold formed steel reinforcing rods.

USE : ρsteel = 77.5 KN/m3

ρ concrete = 23.5 kN/m3

 PROBLEM 2
The second floor of a light manufacturing building is
constructed from a 125 mm thick stone concrete slab
with an added 100 mm cinder concrete as shown. If the
suspended ceiling of the first floor consists of metal lath
and gypsum plaster, determine the dead load for design
in kN per square meter of the floor area.
