SOLVE:

All problems refer to NSCP Table for live loads and Fig. P1.1 for the building layout.
No live load reduction factors are considered. Figure P1.1 provides a plan and
elevation of a reinforced concrete building 7 bays long by 4 bays wide.
The building has beams along building lines A through E and one-way slabs spanning
between building lines A through E. A central stairwell/elevator shaft between
building lines 5 and 6 provides the lateral support, so only gravity loads need to be
calculated. The bay dimensions, beam dimensions, and occupancy uses are given in
the individual problem statements below. Construction is with normal weight
concrete with a density of 23.5 kN/m3 for the purposes of calculating dead load.

1. The building in Fig. P1.1 is used for general office space. The slab is 200 mm thick.
The beams are 300 mm wide and have a total depth of 450 mm., the bay dimensions
are 5.6 m in the X direction and 6.5 m in the Y direction, and the superimposed service
dead load is 0.57 kPa.
- Calculate the slab service load in kPa and the interior beam service load in kN/m.
- Calculate the slab factored load in kPa and the beam factored load in kN/m.

2. A slab in Fig. P1.1 is used for lobby space. The slab is 250 mm thick. The beams are
350 mm wide and have a total depth of 600 mm the bay dimensions are 6.5 m in the
X direction and 8 m in the Y direction, and the superimposed service dead load is
0.80 kPa. Calculate the slab factored load in kPa and the beam factored load in kN/m.

3. The building in Fig. P1.1 is used for light storage space. The slab is 250 mm. thick.
The beams are 400 mm. wide and have a total depth of 500 mm., the bay dimensions
are 6 m in the X direction and 7.5 m in the Y direction, and the superimpose sprinkler
dead load is 0.25 kPa. Calculate the slab factored load in kPa and the beam factored
load in kN/m.
4. The roof on the building in Fig. P1.1 has a slab that is 175 mm. thick. The beams are
300 mm. wide and have a total depth of 400 mm. the bay dimensions are 6 m in the
direction and 6.5 m in the Y direction, and the superimposed service dead load is 0.30
kPa. Calculate the slab factored load in kPa and the beam factored load in kN/m.
