Estimate for Frame Section (Beam)

 Beam Depth = 0.75 x Span Length

Span 12ft = 0.75 x 12 = 9in
Span 12.5ft =0.75 x 12 = 9.375in
Span 13.25ft =0.75 x 13.25 = 9.9375in

 Finished Load

  For Slab (1.5” Topping)

Finished Load x 150 =18.75 psf~ 20 psf

 For Stair (Riser 6”)

Finished Load x 150 +20=57.5 psf
