Assignment - Steel and Timber Structures.
➢ For the floor system shown below, design each of the elements of the system. The floor
is composed by a Reinforced Concrete slab thickness 10 cm with screed 5 cm and finishing 2
cm. The floor carries in addition to its own weight, loads from partitions of magnitude 3
kN/m2 and live load of w kN/m2.
Special notes:
1. Steel Grade Fe 510.
2. Secondary beams rest over compression flange of main beams.
3. Columns are fixed at the foundation level and the frames are non-sway mode. The
heights of the columns are 5.00 m.
Required:
1. Design of secondary beams (at least one).
2. Design of main beams (at least one).
3. Design of the columns only for axial compression (at least one).
4. Design of the main beam to column connection by using bolted connection (at least one).
