Answer:
a. = 40 psf
b. L ≈ 30.80 psf
c. The uniformly distributed total load for the beam = 812.8 ft./lb
d. The alternate concentrated load is more critical to bending , shear and deflection
Explanation:
The given parameters of the beam the beam are;
The span of the beam = 26 ft.
The width of the tributary, b = 16 ft.
The dead load, D = 20 psf.
a. The basic floor live load is given as follows;
The uniform floor live load, = 40 psf
The floor area, A = The span × The width = 26 ft. × 16 ft. = 416 ft.²
Therefore, the uniform live load, = 40 psf
b. The reduced floor live load, L in psf. is given as follows;
For the school, = 2
Therefore, we have;
The reduced floor live load, L ≈ 30.80 psf
c. The uniformly distributed total load for the beam, = b ×
=
∴ = = 16 × (20 + 30.80) ≈ 812.8 ft./lb
The uniformly distributed total load for the beam, = 812.8 ft./lb
d. For the uniformly distributed load, we have;
= 812.8 × 26/2 = 10566.4 lbs
= 812.8 × 26²/8 = 68,681.6 ft-lbs
= 5×812.8×26⁴/348/EI = 4,836,329.333/EI
For the alternate concentrated load, we have;
= 1000 lb
= 20 × 16 = 320 lb/ft.
= 1,000 + 320 × 26/2 = 5,160 lbs
= 1,000 × 26/4 + 320 × 26²/8 = 33,540 ft-lbs
= 1,000 × 26³/(48·EI) + 5×320×26⁴/348/EI = 2,467,205.74713/EI
Therefore, the loading more critical to bending , shear and deflection, is the alternate concentrated load
