Within the structural systems, individual
structural elements must work together to carry
and transfer the applied loads to the ground.
Examples of structural elements include:
4
The buildings should be designed
to meet the requirements of the
design standards. (with a clearly
defined load path, to transfer the
forces to the supporting ground).
Cruise of forces can cause damages
in LOAD BEARING SYSTEMS.

Problem :
The floor system of a building consists of a 15 cm thick reinforced concrete slab
resting on four steel floor beams, which in turn are supported by two steel girders.
The cross-sectional areas of the floor beams and the girders are 94.8 cm2 and
337.4 cm2, respectively. Determine the dead loads acting on the beams CG and
DH and the girder AD. (Unit weight for concrete is 23.6 kN/m3, and for steel 77
kN/m3)
