REPORT
Introduction
The following report outlines the procedure and calculations followed to determine the
load imposed on the client’s building and the preliminary size calculations for beams
and columns.
The client provided the following conditions and requirements for a residential bungalow
on a plot size of 500 sq yards:
Family size: 2 adults, 3 kids
To make the rea as kid friendly as possible.
Following are the calculations:

TRIANGULAR LOADING OF 2-WAY SLABS: Formula: W u(Lx)/3
Where Lx= shorter length of slab and W u= self-weight (173lb)

Span 1:
Moment at A = -WL2/16 = (994.75x162)/16 = -15916 lb/ft
Moment at mid = WL2/14 = (994.75x162)/14 = 1818 lb/ft
Moment at B = -1/9xWL2 = (994.75x162)/9 = -2829 lb/ft
Span 2:
Moment at B = -WL2/16 = (994.75x212)/16 = -27417 lb/ft
Moment at mid = WL2/14 = (994.75x212)/14 = 31334 lb/ft
Moment at C = -1/9xWL2 = (994.75x212)/9 = -48742.75 lb/ft
Beam Calculations:
Ultimate moment: -15916+18189-28295-27417+31334+(-48742)
Ultimate moment: -70847 = 70847kip-ft or [Link]

Calculating no. of bars: Columns Calculations:
No. of bars= As/Ab = 2.5/1 Live load= 40 psf

Ultimate load: Total load on column through slab
Wu= 1.4D+1.7L
Wu= 1.4(100+36) +1.7(40)
Wu= 260 psf
Multiply dead load with catchment of columns:
total ultimate axial load on column= 260psf x 224.75 sq ft
