A flooring system consists of parallel I-beam sections spaced at 3 m on centers with simple spans of 6 m. The beam supports a 200 mm thick slab. The flooring system is designed for a live load of 2400 N/m2 as well as ceiling load of 750 N/m2. The properties of the I=beam sections are: d = 352mm, Ix = 0.00012m4, W = 44.85 kg/m, Fy = 248MPa, E = 200,000 GPa. Use Wt. of concrete = 24kN/m3 1. Which of the following gives the uniform pressure acting on the slab. 2. Which of the following gives

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
