A wide-flange steel beam supports a permanent masonry wall, floor slab, architectural finishes, mechanical and electrical systems. Determine the uniform dead load (in kips per linear foot) acting on the beam. The wall is 9.5 ft high and non-load bearing. It consist of 8” thick lightweight reinforced concrete masonry units with a weight of 90 psf. The composite 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 ducting, piping and electrical systems equals 6 psf.

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.
