Load Combinations
2.1. Determine the strength design load combinations for a reinforced concrete
beam on a typical floor of a multistory residential building using the nominal
bending moments in Table 2.11. All bending moments are in foot-kips. Assume
the live load on the floor is less than 100 psf.

2.2. Determine the strength design load combinations for a steel beam that is part of
an ordinary moment frame in an office building using the nominal bending
moments and shear forces in Table 2.12. All bending moments are in foot-kips
and all shear forces are in kips. Assume the live load on the floor is less than
100 psf.
