A floor system in a small building consists of wood plans supported by 50mm (nominal width) joists spaced at a distance of 0.40 m, measured center to center. The span length of each joist is 3.2 m. The uniform load carried is 5.8 kPa which includes the weight of the floor system. (Do not consider reduction of capacity of the beam) What is the cost of timber beams in a 2 meters span of floor (hint: determine how many beams in 2 meters span), , if the price of the timber is Php 65.00 / boardft.?
