Question

The concrete girders shown in the photo of the passenger car parking garage span 30 ft and are 15 ft on center. If the floor slab is 5 in. thick and made of reinforced stone concrete, and the specified live load is 50 lb/ft2 (see Table 1.4), determine the distributed load the floor system transmits to each interior girder.
