A portion of the framing for a steel floor is shown below. A single W24x55 girder (G1) supports point loads from two beams, as well as its own distributed self-weight. Beam B-2 delivers a force of 15 kips to G1, while B-3 delivers a force of 20 kips. The girder is 30 feet long, with beams spaced 10' from each end. Draw a free-body diagram and calculate the support reactions on each side (at Col. A & Col. B). Girder G-1 Col. A Beam B-2 Вeam B-3 Girder G-1 (partial framing) Col. B

### Educational Resource on Steel Floor Framing

#### Description:

A portion of the steel floor framing is depicted with a focus on a single W24x55 girder (G1). The girder is subjected to point loads from two beams and its own distributed self-weight. Details include:

- **Beam B-2**: This beam applies a force of 15 kips (kilo-pounds) to Girder G1.
- **Beam B-3**: This beam applies a force of 20 kips to Girder G1.
- The girder G1 spans 30 feet with supporting beams spaced 10 feet from each end.

#### Task:

Draw a free-body diagram of the setup and calculate the support reactions at each end of the girder (specifically at Column A and Column B).

#### Diagram Explanation:

- **Girder G-1**: Shown as a horizontal beam running parallel to the beams B-2 and B-3.
- **Beams B-2 and B-3**: These are perpendicular to Girder G-1, indicating points where the loads are applied.
- **Columns (Col. A and Col. B)**: These denote support positions at either end of Girder G-1.

This structural setup can be analyzed to determine the load distribution to ensure safe design and functionality in a construction context.
