8" concrete masonry partition 9.5' concrete floor slab - piping mechanical duct wide flange steel beam with fireproofing ceiling tile and suspension hangers Section
A wide flange steel beam shown in Figure P2.3
supports a permanent concrete masonry wall, floor slab,
architectural finishes,
Determine the uniform dead load in kips per linear foot
acting on the beam.
The wall is 9.5-ft high, non-load bearing and later-
ally braced at the top to upper floor framing (not shown).
The wall consists of 8-in. lightweight reinforced concrete
masonry units with an average weight of 90 psf. The com-
posite concrete floor slab construction spans over simply supported steel beams, with a tributary width of 10 ft, and
weighs 50 psf.
The estimated uniform dead load for structural steel
framing, fireproofing, architectural features, floor finish,
and ceiling tiles equals 24 psf, and for mechanical duct-
ing, piping, and electrical systems equals 6 psf.
