The slab shown below is to carry a characteristic variable load of 2.5 kN/m². Calculate the design load on the slab (per m²) and use it to determine the UDL on beams AB & CD. From this, calculate the design load at the base of the columns. Assume slab / beams span to the outer faces of the columns. Take the unit weight of concrete as 23.5 kN/m³. 2.4 m 0.35m x 0.25m R.C. beam 0.25 mx 0.25 m R.C. column 5.0m 0.225m thick R.C. slab B 6.5 m
