The floor system of a school classroom consists of a 6-inch-thick reinforced concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A = 19.2 in.2), which are supported by two steel girders (A = 30.7 in.2). The girders, in turn, are supported by four columns. Determine the live load acting on column A.

Determine the vertical reaction force at A. Let M = 140 kN·m, w = 25 kN/m, P = 130 kN, a = 4 m, b = 8 m, and c = 4 m.

The floor of an apartment building is subjected to a uniformly distributed load of 34.5 psf over its surface area. Determine the axial load acting on column J.

Determine the vertical reaction force at B. Let P1 = 180 kN, P2 = 60 kN, P3 = 60 kN, and a = b = c = d = 2.3 m.
