C. Beam
When the beam is loaded by external uniform
load 𝑤 is cut between supports, the internal reactions are
the shear force 𝑆, axial force 𝐴, and internal moment 𝑀.
The hinge has two component reactions and the roller has
one component reactions.

Two-Force Members
When a member is subject to no couple moments and
forces are applied at only two points on a member, the member
is called a two-force member.
Internal Axial or Normal Force, N If the body is in equilibrium, the two equal forces must
“The internal axial force N at any section of a beam is be directed along line bc as shown in figure A. The two equal
equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the algebraic sum forces in figure B cannot be in equilibrium because of random
(resultant) of the components in the direction parallel to the axis orientation. These can be proven by summation of moments at
of the beam of all the external loads and support reactions acting either points c and b, where in figure B is summation of moment
on either side of the section under consideration.” not equal to zero.
Bending Moment, N
“The bending moment M at any section of the beam is
equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to the algebraic sum
of the moments about (the centroid of the cross section of the
beam at) the section under consideration of all the external loads
and support reactions acting on either side of the section.”

Dead Loads
“Dead loads due to the weight of the structural system
itself and any other material permanently attached to it.”
(Kassimali: 2015) In effect, they are characterized as having
fixed both in positions and magnitudes. These include the weight
of the beams, columns, floors, ceilings, foundations, roofs,
walls, etc.
Table 1.3. Unit Weights of Common Construction Materials
Live Loads
Live loads “are considered to include all loads on the
structure that are not classified as dead loads. However, it has
become common to narrow the definition of live loads to include
only loads that are produced through the construction, use, or
occupancy of the structure and not to include environmental or
dead loads.” (West: 1993) This indicates that live loads are of
changing positions and magnitudes.

Table 1.5. Minimum Uniform Live Loads (NSCP 2015) Rain Loads
“Roof loads that result from the accumulation of
rainwater on flat roofs can be a serious problem. This condition
is produced by the ponding that occurs when the water
accumulates faster than it runs off, either because of the intensity
of the rainfall o because of the inadequacy or blockage of the
drainage system. The real damage is that as ponding occurs the
roof deflects into a dished configuration, which can
accommodate more water, and thus greater loads result.” (West:
1993)
Hydrostatic Pressure

“Wind loads are produced by the flow of wind around as well as coastal structures partially or fully submerged in water

Tributary Loadings
When flat surfaces such as walls, floors, or roofs are
supported by a structural frame, it is necessary to determine how
Idealized Beam
the load on these surfaces is transmitted to the various structural
elements used for their support. There are generally two ways in
which this can be done.
A. One-way System
A slab or deck that is supported such that it delivers its
load to the supporting members by one-way action, is often
referred to as a one-way slab.

building consists of 100𝑚𝑚 thick reinforced
concrete slab resting on four steel beams, which
in turn are supported by two steel girders as
shown below. The cross- sectional areas of the
floor beams and girders are 9480𝑚𝑚2 and
33740𝑚𝑚2, respectively. Determine the factored
