The floor system of an apartment building consists of a 4-inch-thick reinforced concrete slab resting on three steel floor beams, which are in turn supported by two steel girders, as shown below. 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 dead load acting on the beam CD if a 6-inch-thick brick wall, which is 7 ft high and 25 ft long, bears directly on the top of beam CD.
The roof system of an office building consists of a 4-in.- thick reinforced concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A ¼ 16:2 in.2), which are supported by two steel girders (A = 42:9 in.2). The girders, in turn, are supported by four columns, as shown in Fig. P2.8. Determine the dead loads acting on the girder AG.
A two-story office building shown in the photo has interior columns that are spaced 22 ft apart in two perpendicular directions. If the (flat) roof loading is 20 lb/ft2, determine the reduced live load supported by a typical interior column located at ground level.

- A building's entrance canopy is constructed as a fixed slab attached to one of its longer sides. The slab has dimensions of 2.50 m x 6 m and a thickness of 225 mm. It is designed to bear various loads, including a uniform live load of 2000 Pa, a uniform dead load of 5000 Pa (excluding the weight of the slab itself), and a concentrated dead load of 5000 N per meter applied at the far end of the support. The design of the slab ensures that the main bars are oriented parallel to the shorter span. The specified design properties include a compressive strength (fc') of 21 MPa, a yield strength (fy) of 345 MPa, 16-mm-diameter main bars, 10-mm-diameter temperature bars, and a clear cover of 20 mm. The unit weight of the concrete is 23,544 N/m3.Find: 1. Determine the spacing of the main bars in mm 2.
