A simple floor girder with a span 20 ft has a tributary width of 20 ft. The nominal loads that act on the floor system are shown below. Using the ASCE 7 Strength Design load combinations determine the factored design load in the beam (plf). Show all load combination calculations and identify the controlling load combination and resulting design values for positive and negative moment (±Mu) and shear (Vu).

Nominal Loads

Live Load	40 psf
Floor Vertical Earthquake Load	±8 psf
Floor Dead Load Maximum	35 psf
Floor Dead Load Minimum	28 psf

A one-way solid concrete slab is to be used for a simple span of 18 ft. In addition to its own weight, the slab carries a superimposed dead load of 50 psf and a live load of 75 psf. Using the strength method with f ′c = 4 ksi and fy = 60 ksi, design the slab for minimum overall thickness. (account for weight of slab)

An elevated floor has dimensions of 40 feet by 20 feet. Wooden joists (southern pine) span the 20-foot length and are spaced at 5 feet on center. A steel (E=29,000 ksi and allowable stress of 50 ksi) wide-flange girder spans the 40-foot length. The floor (DL) is 6” thick concrete with a 100 psf live load. Design both the timber joist and steel girder using a max l/360 for the deflection limit. Disregard safety factors and self weight of the...
