How to calculate the load in slabs and beams? | Load transfer mechanism in building | Civil Tutor

In this lecture, I have discussed briefly how to calculate the load in slabs and beams and the load transfer mechanism behind it.

Compiled PDFs👇

For any framed structure, the total load of a slab includes the Live Load, Floor finishing Load, and the self-weight of the slab. This load is transferred to the beams which provide support to the slab, and from the beams, the load is transferred to the supporting columns. Then from columns to the footings and finally to the soil on which the whole structure is constructed.
The total load of a slab is the summation of the Dead load and the Live Load. The dead load includes the self-weight of the slab plus the floor finish and it is to be calculated as per IS 875 part 1.

I love the way you made your video and how straight forward it was I understand it so easily thanks

[gopalmalapati]

Gentle man, excellent explanation, hats off to you.

[darshanshrestha]

Your teaching is like academic. I’m enjoying; thank you!!
Can you also teach how to calculate load on columns?

[dreampannu]

great 🤩 truely said, i love to listening this, but i didn't like this for 1day, in the my 4years of college life 😅😇 thank you for this😍

[vishakha-k-]

Can u please recheck the formula u use for calculating the load due to trapazoidal section on beam.. Load calculated are very large

[clifforddevoe]

Thank you bro, just freaking thank you😢😢

[amitgupta]

THANKS SIR, BUT ONE THING I AM MENTIONING THAT LOAD ON BEAM B6 AND B4 DUE TO BEAM B5 SHOULD BE POINT LOAD, BUT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED AS UDL 33KN/M.

[mbabazirodney]

What does 1-1 mean. Thanks for teaching

[CivilTutor]

There is an error in the calculation.... You can find the rectified calculation here 👇

Sorry for the error🙏

[abdulmonimmohamedali]

Actually l want to thank you very much .

[sharmakeabdullahicisman]

Sir thank you
i wanna how to calculate cantilever slab carreid load and transver to the beam

[ihsanullah]

Thanks.how to draw this in which software?

[engrxiddig]

Please sir make detailing using Autocad

[shaahidebrahim]

Thank you sir, tutorial on load transferred to column?

[vedprakashthakur]

could u pls tell me sir how to get the formula of. load on B1 due toslab S1

[ibby]

hey how did you work out the area of the cross section it says 0.23 but not sure how you got this

[abdulzahiraliyi]

my question is, after we calculate loads on the beam can we use this load for column design or de we have to do another calculation using approximate area method for loads on the column ?

[aravindhsuriyak.s]

Sir, Calculation can u make it as pdf and send it sir.. It's or all using for further calculations

[baberkhan-ltbr]

Load due to B5 on B6 will not be UDL as its one end is resting on B6 so it will apply point load on it there.. isn't it?

How to calculate if i have water load on all area of slab ?
