3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define tributary area in relation to beams.
Think about what supports the beam.
What distinguishes an interior column from a corner column?
Where is the column located?
What is a tributary area?
Relate to what directly supports the beam.
True or False: The tributary area for an interior column is the same as a corner column.
Think about column positions.
Calculate the total load on an interior column supporting four beams when each beam bears an equal load of 10 kN and the tributary area is four times that of each corner column.
Focus on cumulative load effect from multiple beams.
Given a rectangular slab of dimensions 25 ft by 15 ft with beams placed at equal intervals, compute the tributary area for an edge beam and discuss the load distribution format.
Visualize the positioning and how each section shares its load.
