,1–1. The floor of a heavy storage warehouse building is
made of 6-in.-thick stone concrete. If the floor is a slab
having a length of 15 ft and width of 10 ft, determine the
resultant force caused by the dead load and the live load.
From Table 1–3
DL = [12 lb/ft2 # in.(6 in.)] (15 ft)(10 ft) = 10,800 lb
From Table 1–4
LL = (250 lb/ft2)(15 ft)(10 ft) = 37,500 lb
Total Load
F = 48,300 lb = 48.3 k Ans.

1–2. The floor of the office building is made of 4-in.-thick
lightweight concrete. If the office floor is a slab having a
length of 20 ft and width of 15 ft, determine the resultant
force caused by the dead load and the live load.

From Table 1–3
DL = [8 lb/ft2 # in. (4 in.)] (20 ft)(15 ft) = 9600 lb

1–5. The floor of a light storage warehouse is made of
150-mm-thick lightweight plain concrete. If the floor is a
slab having a length of 7 m and width of 3 m, determine the
resultant force caused by the dead load and the live load.
