**Structural Diagram Explanation:**

The diagram represents a structural floor plan with girders and floor beams. The layout includes designated column grids labeled numerically (1 to 5) and alphabetically (A to I), forming rectangular sections.

- **Columns and Beams:**
- The diagram shows alternating spans of L1 and L/2 along the horizontal direction.
- Vertical spacings are marked as L/8, L/4, and L/2.

The central portion of the layout is labeled as "Open Area," suggesting an unencumbered space without intermediate supports.

**Problem 1:**

For a uniform slab loading of 6 kip/ft², solve for the load on column 2F and the distributed load on floor beam 3C4C. Use L1 = 24 ft.

This problem involves calculating the structural loads based on the given parameters and beam arrangements.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Load on the column 2F:

Since, the beam self weight and beam size is not given, consider the self weight of beam as 2 kips

The load on the beam 2F3F is w₁:

$\begin{array}{rcl} w_{1} & = & \frac{Total Slab Load}{Beam Length} + Self Weight of beam \\ = & \frac{\frac{L_{1}}{8} \times L_{1} \times (6 {kip/ft}^{2})}{L_{1}} + (2 kips) \\ = & \frac{\frac{(24 ft)}{8} \times (24 ft) \times (6 {kip/ft}^{2})}{(24 ft)} + (2 kips) \\ = & 20 kips \end{array}$

The load on the beam 2I2F is w₃=0

The load on the beam 2F2E is w₄:

$\begin{array}{rcl} w_{4} & = & \frac{Total Slab Load}{Beam Length} + Self Weight of beam \\ = & \frac{\frac{L_{1}}{4} \times \frac{L_{1}}{4} \times (6 {kip/ft}^{2})}{\frac{L_{1}}{4}} + (2 kips) \\ = & \frac{\frac{(24 ft)}{4} \times \frac{(24 ft)}{4} \times (6 {kip/ft}^{2})}{\frac{(24 ft)}{4}} + (2 kips) \\ = & 38 kips \end{array}$

The load on the beam 1F2F is w₂:

$\begin{array}{rcl} w_{2} & = & \frac{Total Slab Load}{Beam Length} + (Self Weight of beam) + (Load from the secondary beam) \\ = & \frac{\frac{L_{1}}{8} \times L_{1} \times (6 {kip/ft}^{2})}{L_{1}} + (2 kips) + \frac{(38 kips)}{2} \times 2 \\ = & \frac{\frac{(24 ft)}{8} \times (24 ft) \times (6 {kip/ft}^{2})}{(24 ft)} + (2 kips) + (38 kips) \\ = & 58 kips \end{array}$

The half of the beam loads will be acting on the column 2F.

The total load on the column 2F is W

$\begin{array}{rcl} W & = & w_{1} + w_{2} + w_{3} + w_{4} \\ = & (20 kips) + (58 kips) + 0 + (38 kips) \\ = & 116 kips \end{array}$
