The floor beam in Fig.1 is used to support the 5-ft width of a lightweight plain concrete slab having a thickness of 4 in. The slab serves as a for the floor below, and therefore its bottom is coated with 5psf plaster. Furthermore, a concrete block wall is directly over the top flange of th the total load on the beam measured per foot if the concrete slab load is 32psf, concrete block wall load is 840lb/ft and live load is 50psf 3n.
