Using Tributary Area Method
Consider E

Area = 62+62+42+42 = 24m2

U =1.6 LL + 1.2 DL
U = 17.6 kPa
 
Pu = u Area
Puroof= Ʃ(Reaction of/in Maxwell) + Pmaxwell(seismic)
Pun = Puroof + Punth flr + Punth flr ... + Pmaxwell(seismic)+….

 EXAMPLE
Design the column of our 3-storey building using Tributary Area Method.
Use W-Shape and ASTM A36 steel. Include the effect of earthquake.

Design of Column A-2
Area= 2.5 x 6 =15mm2
U =1.6 LL + 1.2 DL
U= 28.2 kPa
Pu = u Area
Puroof= Ʃ(Reaction of/in Maxwell) + Pmaxwell(seismic)
Pun = Puroof + Punth flr + Punth flr ... + Pmaxwell(seismic)+….
 

Pu =343.13 + 2.45+ 5.84

Puroof=351.42kN
 
Pu = u Area
Pu = 423 kN
 
P3 = Puroof + u3 + Pu
P3 = 351.42 + 12 +423
P3 = 786.42 kN
 
P2 = 786.42+ 51.75 +423
P2 =1261.17 kN
