    - There are two main types of structural loads: live loads (variable loads like people, furniture, wind, snow) and dead loads (constant loads like the weight of construction materials). - Beams and girders are used to support floor joists over long spans. Their size depends on the weight they need to support and the span length. - Standard load assumptions for residential buildings are 50 lbs/sqft for first and second floors, 30 lbs/sqft for ceilings, and 10 lbs/sqft for walls. The roof load does not bear on the beam.

    Calculating Building Loads

    pages 173-177

    Types of structure loads


    Live loads
    loads that move or change furniture, appliance, people, wind, snow, etc.

    Dead loads
    loads that are constant The weight of the structure construction materials & plumbing fixtures, etc.

    Beams and Girders


    Beams or girders support floor joists over long spans. May be wood or metal.
    Wood beams may be built-up or solid. (p.291) Two types of steel beams
    Standard or Wide

    Beam size based upon weight of the structure and the span.

    Typical Steel Beams

    Loads on the beam


    1/2 of the buildings weight rests on the beam
    1/2 of the buildings weight rests on the foundation walls

    Weight Supported by Beam

    Values for residential buildings


    1st floor
    live load + dead load = 50 lbs/ft2

    2nd floor
    live load + dead load = 50 lbs/ft2

    Ceiling
    live load + dead load = 30 lbs/ft2

    Walls
    dead load = 10 lbs/ft2

    Roof has no load on the beam

    Heres what you need

    Load Assumptions
    First Floor and Second Floor
    Live + dead load = 50 pounds per square foot.

    Ceiling
    Live + dead load = 30 pounds per square foot.

    Walls
    Dead load = 10 pounds per square foot.

    Roof
    No load on beam.

    Weight Calculations Example


    Two Story Frame Structure
    28' x 40'.

    Area of the House


    1120 square feet per floor.

    Wall Area
    320 square foot per wall.

    Assumes a bearing wall on each floor.

    Weight Calculations Example

    Foundation of the house.

    Weight Calculations Example


    Weight of first floor = 56,000 lbs. Weight of second floor = 56,000 lbs. Weight of ceiling = 33,600 lbs. Total weight = 145,600 lbs. Half bears on the beam = 72,800 lbs. First and second floor wall weight total = 6,400 lbs. Weight bearing on the beam = 79,200 lbs.

    Typical Steel Beams

    Weight Calculations Example


    Length of beam = 40 feet. Three columns reduce span to 10'-0" and 19.8 kips(1 kip = 1000 pounds). An 8" x 6 1/2" WF beam will support 23 kips.

    Weight Calculations Example

    Three supporting posts are added.

    Weight Calculations Example


    Post Selection
    Size is determined by weight to be supported and length of post. Post must support 26 kips. Post length is 8 feet. Chart (Figure 11-32 in text) shows that a 3" post will support 34 kips.

    Weight Calculations Example

    Weight supported by each post.

    Weight Calculations Example

    Steep pipe columns load table.
