Total Slab load = self wt + Live load + Floor Finish = (KN/m)

3. Load on Beam B1 (Secondary Beam)
i. Load from slab = Slab load X Area of Slab = _____ KN/m

Span
ii. Load from wall = Height of wall X Thk. Of wall X Unit wt of wall = KN/m

4. Load on beam2 (Mean beam)
i. Load form slab = slab load X Area of slab

Span

ii. Load from wall = Ht. of wall X Thk. Of wall X Unit of wall

iii. Self weight of beam– 1 KN/m

2. Bolt connection between web angle and web of the secondary beam

(bolts along 1 – 1)
