Steel Beam Design

A two story storage facility has columns 12-0 long and are fixed at the base and to the rest of the
structures with hinges. The structure is designed to carry the following weights.

Dead Load

Live Load

4 concrete floor (weight of concrete = 150lb/ft3)

Stock loading = 100 psf

Estimated framing & miscellaneous other = 30psf
