Loading on a reinforced concrete beamA reinforced concrete beam spans 6m between supporting columns. The beam is 250 mmwide and 450 mm deep and supports a 5m wide portion of slab 175 mm deep.a. There is a 40 mm deep concrete topping layer on top of the slab.b. The floor supports offices.c.There is also a non-load-bearing masonry (blockwork) wall directly above the beamand running along the line of the beam. This blockwork wall is 2.5 m high, 200 mmthick and is finished on both sides with plaster of weight 0.5 kN/m²Calculate the total load on the concrete beam per metre length.(Note: don't forget to include the weight of the beam itself.)Unit weight of concrete = 24 kN/m³ (Appendix 1)Unit weight of blockwork = 22 kN/m³ (Appendix 1)Live load due to offices = 2.5 kN/m² (Appendix 1)Centrelines ofsupportingcolumns6000(a) Long section through beamBlockworkwall40200250All dimensions are inmillimetres(b) Section A-A2500400
