Span = Minimum (X or Y)
Span = 6000 mm
Eff Depth(P1 & P2) = 6000/26

Cover(25) + R/F (10) + 230 = 265 mm
Lets take = 275 mm
Eff Depth(P3) = 6000/30 = 200 mm
Cover(25) + R/F (10) + 200 = 235 mm

Span = Minimum (X or Y)
Span = 6000 mm

Eff Depth(B1) = 6000/18 = 333 mm

Cover(25) + R/F (20 + 8) + 333 = 386mm
Lets take = 450 mm
 Initial Sizing
Beam Width
Reference : I Struct-E Manual EC2 Table 4.1 For 1.5 hr Fire rating = 200 mm
So lets take = 225 mm
Self Weight = 0.225 x 0.45 x 25
= 2.531 kN/m

Basic loading in slabs

Slab thickness = 275 mm
Self Weight of Slab = 6.875 kN / m2
Finishes = 0.5 kN / m2
Services = 0.5 kN / m2
Partitions = 1.0 kN / m2
Total Dead Load ( gk) = 8.875 kN / m2
Imposed Load ( qk ) = 4.0 kN / m2

Ultimate Design Load = 1.35 Gk + 1.5 Qk

= 1.35x8.875 + 1.5 x 4
= 18 kN/ m2
 Initial Sizing
Beam Width

Beam Self Weight = 2.531 kN/m

Ultimate Design Load = 2.531 x 1.35 = 3.42 kN/m 6000

From Slab (UDL) = 18 x (6/2) = 54 kN/m
Total UDL = 54 + 3.42 = 57.5 kN/m
6000
Maximum Shear force on beam = W L /2 = 57.5 X 6 / 2 = 172 kN

fcu = 30 N/mm2

So Minimum Width of Beam = 1000 V / 2d

= 1000 x 172 / (2 x (450-8-20/2)
= 199 mm > 225
hence Selected width is Okey

Beam Size is 450 x 225 mm

Load from slabs P1 P2
Slab thickness = 275 mm
Self Weight of Slab = 6.875 kN / m2
Finishes = 0.5 kN / m2 P4 P3
Services = 0.5 kN / m2
Partitions = 1.0 kN / m2
Total Dead Load ( gk) = 8.875 kN / m2
Imposed Load ( qk ) = 4.0 kN / m2

Ultimate Design Load = 1.35 Gk + 1.5 Qk

= 1.35x8.875 + 1.5 x 4
= 18 kN/ m2 Span = Minimum (X or Y)
Span = 6000 mm

Total loads from slabs in 1 floor = ¼ of P1 + ¼ of P2 + ¼ of P3 + ¼ of P4

= ¼ x 18 (62 + 62 + 62 + 62)
= 18 x 62 = 18 x 36 = 648 kN

So total building = 648 x 3 floors (Except Ground floor) = 1944 kN

Self weight without slab over beam = 0.984 kN / m

Ultimate Design Load = 1.35 Gk

= 1.35x0.984
= 1.33 kN/ m Span = Minimum (X or Y)
Span = 6000 mm

Total loads from slabs in 1 floor = ½ of B1 + ½ of B2 + ½ of B3 + ½ of B4

= ½ x 6 x 1.33 x 4
= 15.96 kN

So total building = 15.96 x 4 floors (Include Ground floor) = 63.84 kN

Ultimate Design Load = 1.35 Gk

= 19.17 kN Span = Minimum (X or Y)
Span = 6000 mm

So load on GL column = 19.17 x 3 floors = 57.51 kN
