Load calculations on Beams (Consider Frame B 1-2-3)
A. LOAD ON ROOF BEAM

For portion B 1-2

Self weight of beam = 25 x 0.23 x 0.45 x 1.5 = 3.88 kN/m

Load from slab

The loads coming on B 1-2 will be


i.) trapezoidal load from one side
ii.) triangular load from other side
iii.) a point load from the transverse beam connecting B and C (BC – 4)

i.) trapezoidal load from one side


equivalent udl = w lx ( r / (2 + r) )

where w = load per m2 acting on roof slab since roof beam load is required = 10 kN/m2
lx = short span = 3.5m
r = (ly / lx ) = 6/3.5 = 1.71

therefore, equivalent udl = 10 x 3.5 ( 1.71 / (2 + 1.71 ) ) = 16.13 kN/m

ii.) triangular load from other side

Actually there are two triangular portions. Equivalent udl has to be calculated for both
triangular portions and maximum has to be applied over B 1-2.

Equivalent udl due to triangular load = w x lx / 3


= 10 x 3 / 3
= 10 kN/m

iii.) Point load calculation

Before calculating point load, udl on bean CB – 4 has to be arrived.

Self weight of beam CB-4 = 25 x 0.23 x 0.38 x 1.5 = 3.28 kN/m

Load from slab on CB-4 will be from two trapezoidal portions

As such equivalent udl = 2 x w x lx ( r / 2 + r)

Lx = 3m, r = ly / lx = 3.5 / 3 = 1.17


Therefore, equivalent udl = 2 x 10 x 3 x ( 1.17 / (2 + 1.17))
= 22.15 kN/m

total udl on beam CB-4 = 22.15 + 3.28 = 25.43 kN/m say 26 kN/m

Now, point load on Beam B 1-2 = 26 x 3.5 / 2 = 45.5 say 50 kN

where w = load per m2 acting on floor slab since floor beam load is required = 14 kN/m2
lx = short span = 3.5m
r = (ly / lx ) = 6/3.5 = 1.71

therefore, equivalent udl = 14 x 3.5 ( 1.71 / (2 + 1.71 ) ) = 22.58 kN/m

ii.)triangular load from other side

Actually there are two triangular portions. Equivalent udl has to be calculated for both
triangular portions and maximum has to be applied over B 1-2.

Equivalent udl due to triangular load = w x lx / 3


= 14 x 3 / 3
= 14 kN/m

iii.) weight of wall above beam

Wall weight = 20 x 0.23 x 3 x 1.5 (if full wall)


= 20.7 kN/m
= 20 x 0.115 x 3 x 1.5 (if partition wall)
= 10.35 kN/m

As such equivalent udl = 2 x w x lx ( r / 2 + r)

Lx = 3m, r = ly / lx = 3.5 / 3 = 1.17

Therefore, equivalent udl = 2 x 14 x 3 x ( 1.17 / (2 + 1.17))


= 31 kN/m

total udl on beam CB-4 = 3.28 + 10.35 + 31 = 44.63 kN/m


say 45 kN/m

The load coming on AB - 3 will be


i.) trapezoidal load

Equivalent udl due to trapezoidal load = w lx ( r / (2 + r) ) r = 3.5/3 = 1.17


= 10 x 3 ( 1.17 / (2+1.17))
= 11.07 kN/m

Therfore, load on Beam AB -3

UDL = 2.59 + 11.07 = 13.66 say 15 kN/m

B. LOAD ON FLOOR BEAM

For portion BC - 3

Self weight of beam = 25 x 0.23 x 0.38 x 1.5 = 3.28 kN/m

Load from slab

The loads coming on BC - 3 will be


i.) trapezoidal load
ii.) weight of wall above beam
i.)trapezoidal load
equivalent udl = w lx ( r / (2 + r) )

where w = load per m2 acting on floor slab since floor beam load is required = 14 kN/m2
lx = short span = 3m
r = (ly / lx ) = 3.5/3 = 1.17

therefore, equivalent udl = 14 x 3 ( 1.17 / (2 + 1.17 ) ) = 15.5 kN/m

ii.) weight of wall above beam

Wall weight = 20 x 0.23 x 3 x 1.5 (if full wall)


= 20.7 kN/m
= 20 x 0.115 x 3 x 1.5 (if partition wall)
= 10.35 kN/m

Therfore, load on Beam BC - 3

UDL = 3.28 + 15.5 + 10.35= 29.13 say 30kN/m

For portion AB - 3

Self weight of beam = 25 x 0.23 x 0.38 x 1.5 = 3.28 kN/m

Load from slab

The load coming on AB - 3 will be


i.) trapezoidal load
ii.) weight of wall above beam AB-3

Equivalent udl due to trapezoidal load = w lx ( r / (2 + r) ) r = 3.5/3 = 1.17


= 14 x 3 ( 1.17 / (2+1.17))
= 15.50 kN/m

Weight of wall above beam AB - 3 = 20 x 0.115 x 3 x 1.5


= 10.35 kN/m

Therfore, load on Beam AB - 3

UDL = 3.28 + 15.50 + 10.35 = 29.13 say 30 kN/m


C. LOAD ON PLINTH BEAM

Portion BC - 3

Self weight of plinth beam = 25 x 0.23 x 0.30 x 1.5 = 2.59 kN/m


Weight of wall above beam BC-3 = 20 x 0.115 x 3.0 x 1.5 = 10.35 kN/m

Total udl = 2.59 + 10.35 =


12.94 kN/m say 15 kN/m

Portion AB - 3

Self weight of plinth beam = 25 x 0.23 x 0.30 x 1.5 = 2.59 kN/m


Weight of wall above beam AB-3 = 20 x 0.115 x 3.0 x 1.5 = 10.35 kN/m

Total udl = 2.59 + 10.35 =


12.94 kN/m say 15kN/m
Input for 3D space frame analysis using STAAD.Pro

Note: When space frame analysis is done, there is no need to give point load on beam
C 1-2 and B 1-2 as load will be automatically taken from beam CB - 4
