The floor system of a gymnasium consists of a 130-mm-thick concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A=9,100 mm2) that, in turn, are supported by two steel girders (A = 25,600 mm2), as shown. Determine the dead loads acting on beam BF and girder AD. Assume 23.6 kN/m3 unit weight of concrete and 77.0 kN/m3 for steel.
