Load Combinations
2.1. Determine the strenḡth desiḡn load combinations for a reinforced concrete beam
on a typical floor of a multistory residential buildinḡ usinḡ the nominal bendinḡ
moments in Table 2.11. All bendinḡ moments are in foot-kips. Assume the live
load on the floor is less than 100 psf.

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