C10: HOW TO CALCULATE LOAD ON BEAMS AS PER IS CODE

LOADS ON BEAMS:

BEAM 1:

Ground floor beam                             = 3.058 m long

Self wt of beam                                  = 0.260*0.23*25 = 1.49 KN/m

Load from floor finish slab                = 7.7 KN/m²

Load from floor finish slab on beam = [ (1.642+3.228)*7.7 ] / 3.058

                                                           = 10.689 KN/m

Brick wall load                                  = 23.55*3*0.23 = 16.25 KN/m

Total load                                          = 10.869 + 16.25 + 1.49 + 0.812                                                                          

                                                          = 29.832 KN/m
