Sketch and explain what is meant by tributary loading for a

Question

a) Draw a sketch plan showing stairs, stair treads and adjacent floor areas used for access and working, and on the sketch indicate the distributed loads that should be applied to each of these three components.

b) Sketch and explain what is meant by 'tributary loading' for a one-way support system for a floor slab. Show how to calculate the load per meter of support beam if the support beams are spaced 3000mm apart.

c) Sketch a pin joint, a roller joint and fixed joint; show the kinds of movement that each of these joints allow, and show the forces/moments that each of these joints can support.

Answer 1

By carefully read all the questions illustrated below and as per requisite answer the following questions with proper reasons to justify your answer. 1) Please draw a sketch plan exhibiting stairs, stair treads and adjacent floor regions employed for access and working and on the sketch point out the distributed loads which must be implemented to each of such three components. 2) Draw and describe what do you meant by the term ‘tributary loading’ for a one-way support system for the floor slab. Illustrate how to compute the load per meter of support beam if the support beams are spaced 3000mm apart. 3) Draw a pin joint, a roller joint and fixed joint; illustrate the types of movement that each of such joints let, and exhibit the forces or moments that each of such joints can support.
