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.
Resultant force due to dead load and live load.
Answer to Problem 1.1P
Resultant force =
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
Floor thickness
Length of the floor
The width of the floor
A dead load of the floor is calculated by multiplying the unit weight of concrete with the dimensions of the slab and the Live load for heavy storage warehouse building is taken from the ASCE-7
Calculation:
Imposed load for a heavy storage warehouse
Live load for heavy storage warehouse =
Minimum Design Dead load of stone concrete per inch
Dead load on the warehouse floor of 6 inches thick
Total load = Dead load + Live load
Resultant force
Conclusion:
The resultant force thus obtained is
