Load Combinations
2.1. Determine the strength design load combinations for a reinḟorced concrete beam
on a typical ḟloor oḟ a multistory residential building using the nominal bending
moments in Table 2.11. All bending moments are in ḟoot-kips. Assume the live
load on the ḟloor is less than 100 psḟ.
