Loading on a reinforced concrete beam
A reinforced concrete beam spans 6m between supporting columns. The beam is 250 mm
wide and 450 mm deep and supports a 5m wide portion of slab 175 mm deep.
a. There is a 40 mm deep concrete topping layer on top of the slab.
b. The floor supports offices.
c.
There is also a non-load-bearing masonry (blockwork) wall directly above the beam
and running along the line of the beam. This blockwork wall is 2.5 m high, 200 mm
thick and is finished on both sides with plaster of weight 0.5 kN/m²
Calculate the total load on the concrete beam per metre length.
(Note: don't forget to include the weight of the beam itself.)
Unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m³ (Appendix 1)
Unit weight of blockwork = 22 kN/m³ (Appendix 1)
Live load due to offices = 2.5 kN/m² (Appendix 1)
