The floor system shown is made of concrete (self-weight of concrete is 25kN/m³). Its thickness is t. The slab is supported on beams on all sides on its perimeter. Find: (a) The weight of the slab as uniformly distributed load per unit area of slab (in kN/m²) / (b) the distributed loạd that is transferred to the beams using proper tributary areas (in kN/m)

Transcribed Image Text:The floor system shown is made of concrete (self-weight of concrete is 25KN/m³).
Its thickness is t. The slab is supported on beams on all sides on its perimeter. Find:
(a) The weight of the slab as uniformly distributed load per unit area of slab (in kN/m²)
(b) the distributed loạd that is transferred to the beams using proper tributary areas (in kN/m)

0.6*Z
t= 0.30m+0.05*D (in meters) = 0.4m
Z = 5m + 0.1*D (in meters) = 5.2 m
