The floor system of an apartment building consists of a 5-inch-thick reinforced concrete slab resting on three steel floor beams, which are in turn supported by two steel girders. The areas of cross section of the floor beams and the girders are 19.3 in.2 and 34.3 in.2, respectively. Determine the dead load acting on beam AB.

The floor system of a gymnasium consists of a 130-mm-thick concrete slab resting on four steel beams (A = 8,800 mm2) that, in turn, are supported by two steel girders (A = 25,100 mm2). Determine the point load acting on girder AD at point C caused by dead load.

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.
