Question

The floor system of an apartment building consists of a 4-
in, thick reinforced concrete slab resting on three steel floor
beams, which in turn are supported by two steel girders, as
shown. The areas of cross section of the floor beams and
the girders are 18.3 in^2 and 32.7 in^2.,respectively.
Determine, the total load carried by girder AE. 
Unit weight of Steel: 490 lb/ft^3;
concrete: 150 lb/ft^3;
Live load for Apartment Bldg. : 40 psf
