Example 1-1
The floor beam in the figure below is used to support the 2 m width of a
lightweight plain concrete slab having a thickness of 10 cm. The slab serves as a
portion of the ceiling for the floor below, and therefore its bottom is coated with
plaster (25 kg/m2). Furthermore, an 2.5 m height, 30 cm thick masonry wall is
directly over the top flange of the beam. Determine the loading on the beam
measured per foot of length of the beam.

For the second floor, the live load is taken from table 1-4:

Since AI = 4At = 4(49 m2) = 196 m2 > 37.2 m2 , the live load can be reduced. Thus,

The total live load supported by thefooting is thus
