A typical floor framing plan of a 4-story building with a roof deck is shown in the following

figure. Reinforce concrete columns are 400 mm square and beams are 350 mm wide, and
600 mm deep spaced 3 m on centers. The beams support a slab 100 mm thick carrying a
superimposed dead load of 7.08 kPa and a live load of 11.93 kPa. Concrete weighs 24
kN/m^3. No live load reduction should be applied to this problem.
What is the maximum factored moment in an interior beam in kN-m assuming simple
supports at both ends? USE 2015 NSCP.

Check the ratio: m = s/l = 3 / 7.5 = 0.4 → One way

Floor Load:W = 1.2 (SDL + Wslab) + 1.6(LL) =1.2(7.08 + 24*0.1)+1.6(11.93) = 30.464 kPa
Uniform Load: wu = W(s) + 1.2*(Wbeam)
wu = 30.464*3 + 1.2*(24*0.35*(0.6-0.1)) = 96.432 kN/m

Max moment = wu*L^2/8 = 96.432*7.5^2 / 8 = 678.04 kN-m

Given the floor layout below. Assume this is an upper story in a multistory office
building. Perform live load reduction as appropriate. The floor is subjected to service (i.e.
unfactored) superimposed dead load of 4.74 kPa and L = 2.77 kPa. Concrete weighs 23.6
kN/m3. Typical interior floor beam is 255 x 514 mm. Slab thickness is 148 mm. Columns
are 355x355 mm square.
Determine the maximum factored bending moment (in kN-m) on a typical interior floor
beam assuming simply supported at both ends.

Lo = 2.77 < 4.8 kPa (okay)

Ai = 2*(4*9.75) = 78 > 40 m^2 (okay)

Lr = 2.77*(0.25 + 4.57*(1 / sqrt(78)) = 2.126 kPa > Lower limit: 0.5*2.77 = 1.385 (okay)

Check the ratio: m = s/l = 4 / 9.75 = 0.41 → One way

Floor Load:W = 1.2 (SDL + Wslab) + 1.6(LL) =1.2(4.74 + 23.6*0.148)+1.6(2.126) =

13.281 kPa
Uniform Load: wu = W(s) + 1.2*(Wbeam)
wu = 13.281*4 + 1.2*(23.6*0.255*(0.514-0.148)) = 55.766 kN/m

Max moment = wu*L^2/8 = 55.766*9.75^2 / 8 = 662.659 kN-m

Reinforce concrete beams DF, BE, and EH are 300 mm wide and 500 mm deep. The
beams support a monolithic slab 100 mm thick carrying superimposed dead load of 2 kPa
and live load of 4.8 kPa. Concrete weighs 24 kN/m^3. No live load reduction should be
applied to this problem.
Calculate the maximum ultimate negative bending moment (in kN-m) that must be
sustained by beams BE and EH assuming simple supports at B, E, and H.
Use the following dimensions: s = 2.5 ; l = 4.5
Calculate the maximum ultimate positive bending moment (in kN-m) that must be sustained by
beams BE and EH assuming simple supports at B, E, and H.
Beams BE and EH is continuous and have simple supports at B, E, and H. Calculate the maximum
ultimate positive bending moment that must be sustained by beam DF assuming simple supports
at D and F. (Hint: Support reaction of beam BEH will transfer to beam DF)
A reinforced concrete girder having a simple span of 11.25 m carries a superimposed dead load
of 26.5 kN/m and a uniform service live load of 68.93 kN/m. The beam also carries a service
concentrated load of dead load (PDL = 38.17 kN) and live load (PLL = 38.11 kN) at third points (see
figure below). The beam has a width of 363 mm and a depth of 753 mm. Use unit weight of
concrete = 23.6 kN/m3
