1. Determine the layout of the floor framing and the size of a composite floor
deck assuming normal-weight concrete. Assume a self-weight of 8 psf for
the framing.
2. Design the framing members and select a sufficient section for each of them.
Use W shapes (Fy = 50 Ksi) for beams, girders and Columns. Assume 8in of
the floor deck is cantilevered around the building layout.
-Try 2.5-in. concrete slab on 3-in. by 20-ga galvanized composite metal deck.
(refer to the Vulcraft Steel Roof and Floor Deck Manual) or similar deck
manufacturers’ catalogs.
-Total Slab Depth = 2.5 in. + 3 in. = 5.5 in.
For the 3-span condition, we find from the deck load tables that Maximum allowable
deck span without shoring during construction = 11 ft. 9 in.
1st question
-Applied superimposed load on deck/slab = The total floor load- Total floor deck and
concrete slab self-weight
Applied superimposed load on deck/slab = 142- 52 = 90 psf
-span for this particular deck without shoring when it spans over a minimum of three
spans. 24/3= 8
It should be noted that the deck span selected must be less than or equal to 11 ft. 9 in
which is the maximum allowable span for this particular deck without shoring when it
spans over a minimum of three spans. In addition, the selected deck span must be a
multiple of the shorter bay dimension.
1st question
-Therefore, use 2.5-in. concrete slab on 3-in. by 20-ga galvanized composite metal deck.
2nd question
GIVEN:
Floor dead load = 70 psf.
Floor live load = 80 psf.
Typical floor framing plan consists of = 24-ft. by 36 ft.
Fy = 50 Ksi.
Cantilever around the floor deck = 8in. = 0.66
2nd question
The Exterior beam
1. Determine Loads
Calculate the uniform load imposed on The Beam . The load tributary area for The
Beam is a section of floor 8 ft × 36 ft. The uniformly distributed loads (w) on the Beam
are:
Conversion = 8/12= 0.66
8/2= 4
4 + 0.66= 4.66
4.66 x 36= 167.8 ft.
Wu =0.98 k/ft.
Reaction (Ru)
Ru= WuL/2
Ru=(0.98x36)/2= 17.6 K.
Maximum Moment(Mu)
Mu=WuL2/8= (0.98x362)/8
=158.8 k-ft. (Required Flexural Strength)
2nd question
3. Resisting Moment
Calculate the Required Section Modulus (Zx)
= 158.8 x12/0.9x50
=42.3 in3.
Mu=158.8 k-ft.
From AISC Table 3-2 (W-Shapes), select a shape with an available Zx equal to or
greater than that required.
A W18×35 shape with an available Zx of 66.5 in³ is the closest (but still greater) value
to the required Zx of 42.3 in³. Ok.
Also note that this shape’s available flexural strength of 249-ft, is greater than the
required flexural strength of 158.8 k-ft. Ok.
2nd question
4. Checking for Shear
From AISC Table 3-2,
Available shear strength = 159 k.
Required shear strength = 17.6 k.
Since the available shear strength is greater than the required shear
strength, the W18×35 is acceptable.
2nd question
5. Checking for Deflection
=5(0.37x36x[36x12]3)/384x29000x510
=0.95
WLL=Unifrom live load= 13.4 k/ft.
-The live load maximum deflection is less than the live load allowable
deflection, the shape W18x35 is acceptable for live load deflection.
0.95<1.2 Ok.
2nd question
Total Load Deflection
-Maximum Deflection for the W18x35 Beam
=5(0.7x36x[36x12]3)/384x29000x510
=1.7 Ok.
-The total load maximum deflection is less than the total load allowable
deflection, the shape W18x35 is acceptable for total load deflection.
2nd question
Interior Girder
First we calculate Interior beam
Wu = 1.2 W DL + 1.6 W LL
Wu = 1.2( 0.56) + 1.6( 0.64)
Wu = 1.7 k/ft
Reaction (Ru)
Ru = WuL / 2
Ru = (1.7 x 36 ) / 2
Ru = 30.60 K
2nd question
Interior Girder
Pu = Ru x 2
= 30.60 x 2
= 61K
Reaction (Ru)
Ru = Pu = 61 K
Z x(available) = 134
Vu(available) = 251
I x(available) = 1350
PLL= Wll *36 = 0.64 * 36 = 23
PtL= Wtl *36 = 43
PdL= Wdl *36 = 20.16
2nd question
-W24×55 is acceptable for live load deflection beacause the live load maximum
deflection is less than the live load allowable deflection.
Therefore l= 1.8
