STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS
Slab Loadings:
Dead Load Wc = 23.6 kN/m³
For weight of slab: Wc x width of floor slab x thickness of slab =
Wc x w x t = 23.6 x 4.0 x 0.15 = 14.16 kN/m
For weight of slab finish: Wc x width of floor slab x thickness of slab finish =
Wc x w x f = 23. 6 x 4.0 x 0.025 = 2.36 kN/m
Total Dead Load, Wd = 16.52 kN/m
Live Load Service Load = 4.8 kPa
For live loading: Service Load x width of slab =
Service load x w = 4.8 x 4.0 = 19.2 kN/m
Ultimate Loading Wu = 1.4 DL + 1.7 LL
Wu = [ 1.4 x Wd ] + [ 1.7 x Wl ] = 55.77 kN/m
Steel Structural Beams: Values are taken from Steel Sections Standard Table
Longitudinal Beam: Self Weight = 9 lb/ft 0.13 kN/m
30 m
Load to pass on the transverse beam for every 1.5 meter interval:
Self Weight x length / (distance interval of transverse beam + 1) =
1.59 kN
Transverse Beam: Self Weight = 45 lb/ft 0.66 kN/m
Load carried by the transverse beam is its self weight,
load from longitudinal beam and weight of slab.
Analysis on transverse beam: Analysis using GRASP
Using Ultimate Loading:
Load to pass on the main beam: Ry = 206.75 kN
Main Beam: Self Weight = 170 lb/ft 2.51 kN/m
Load carried by the main beam is its self weight and load received from transverse beam.

DESIGN PLAN
Note: There is no need to design the longitudinal beam for it does not carry slab load.
The transverse beam carry the load of the longitudinal beam and slab load.
The main beam carry the load from the transverse beam.

Design of Transverse Beam: Analysis using GRASP
Maximum Force = 46.48 k 206.75 kN
Design as Tension:
For: W 10 x 45
Ag = 13.3 in² rx = 4.32 in
d= 10.1 in ry = 2.01 in
bf = 8.02 in
tf = 0.62 in
Fy = 36 ksi
Pmax (allowable) = 0.6*Fy*Ag = 287.28 k Ok!
Slenderness ratio, L/r L/r = 36.46 Ok!
Provision: Main Member = L/r ≤ 240
Second Member = L/r ≤ 300
Design as Compression: Cc = 126 E= 29000 ksi
Values of k:
Ideal k 0.5 0.7 1 2
design k 0.65 0.8 1.2 2
For Compression Members, kL/r ≤ 200 kL/ry = 29.16 min
kL/rx = 36.46 max
Since: kL/r = 36.46 < 126 Intermediate Column
Fcr: Intermediate Column Long Column
Fcr = 19.46 ksi
For compression members, Pcr = Fcr*Ag (allowable)
Pcr (allowable) = 258.87 Ok!
Therefore, Use W 10 x 45

For Compression Members, kL/r ≤ 200 kL/ry = 9.17 max
kL/rx = 6.69
Since: kLr = 9.17 < 126 Intermediate Column
Fcr: Intermediate Column Long Column
Fcr = 21.2 ksi
For compression members, Pcr = Fcr*Ag (allowable)
