What is the role of the slab in a flooring system?
Think about where people and furniture are placed.
What do secondary beams support?
Consider what is found beneath the slab.
What is the purpose of secondary beams in a flooring system?
Consider what lies directly under the slab.
True or False: Main beams are smaller than secondary beams.
Think about their functions.
Given a building with a total floor area of 1000 m², conceptualize a floor system using I-section beams under a loading of 10 kN/m². Describe your layout of beams and columns.
Visualize the space and how beams can overlap to share load.
If a secondary beam spans 4m and carries a load of 5 kN/m, calculate the maximum bending moment experienced by this beam.
Use the bending moment formula for simply supported beams.
