A problem related to determining the reactions and loads on beams and columns in a floor framing plan under uniform distributed loads. The problem includes partial answers for verification and requires the use of centroid properties. Likely to be useful for students in civil engineering or structural engineering courses, particularly those related to statics and structural analysis.

5A) The floor framing plan is subject to uniform distributed loads of: dead load = 45 psf, live load = 120 psf. Determine the resulting reactions by the beams & load on the columns. (load tracing) Partial answer to check with: R (^) B2 = 16706.25 lb, RG3@G1 = 10395 lb, RG1@C1 =12529.7 lb, PonC2 =20,822.8 lb.
Partial answers to check with: A (^) y = +1,733 lb., Bx = 0, By = +3,067 lb.
Partial answers to check with: A (^) x = 0, Ay = -1.5 kN, By = +10.5 kN
