Question

The floor beam shown is used to support the 6-ft width of a lightweight plain concrete slab having a thickness of 4 in. The slab serves as a portion of the ceiling for the floor below, and therefore its bottom is coated with plaster. Furthermore, an 8-ft-high, 12-in.-thick lightweight solid concrete block wall is directly over the top flange of the beam. Determine the loading on the beam measured per foot of length of the beam. Assume that the density of concrete slab is 100 lbs/ft3, design load for plaster ceiling is 5 psf and density for block wall is 105 lbs/ft3.
