The floor beam shown in Figure below is used to support the 6-ft width of light weight plain concrete (density is 96 lb/ft³) slab having a thickness of 4 in. The slab serves as a portion of the ceiling for the floor below, and therefore its bottom is coated with plaster (assume the dead load due to plaster is 5 lb/ft²). Furthermore, an 8-ft high, 12-in. thick light weight solid concrete block (density 105 lb/ft³) wall is directly over the top flange of the steel beam. Neglect the self-weight of steel beam. As an entry level structural engineer, you are assigned the task to determine the loading on the beam. Determine the loading on the beam measured per foot of length of the beam (lb/ft).

4. An interior reinforced concrete slab has to be designed to support a live load and a dead load in addition to its own weight based on the following specifications: The slab is one-way and simply supported with a span of 12 ft. The live load on the slab is 200 psf. The dead load on the slab is 100 psf. Your design will use concrete compressive strength fe= 3000 psi and steel yield strength of fy = 40,000 psi
