How to calculate load on column, beam and slab
To calculate the total load on columns, beams, slabs, we must know several loads that arrive at the column. Generally, the Pillar, Beam and Slab arrangements are seen in a frame-like structure.
In the frame of the frame, the load is transferred from slab to beam, beam to column, and finally reaches the building foundation.
For building load calculation, loads on the following elements must be calculated,
what is column
The column length is usually 3 times its smallest side cross-section dimension. The strength of any column mainly depends on its cross-sectional shape and size, length, location and column position.
A column is a vertical component in a building structure, which is primarily designed to withstand the load of compression and buckling. The column is one of the important structural members of the building structure. As the load arrives in the column, the size is increased or decreased.
what is beam
The beam is a horizontal structural member in civil construction, which is designed to withstand shear force, bending moment and transfer the load to columns at both ends of the beam. The lower part of the beam experiences tensile force and compressive force from the upper part. Therefore, more steel reinforcement is provided at the bottom compared to the top of the beam.
what is slab
The slab is a leveled structural element of the building that provided the creation of a flat and hard surface. These flat slab surfaces are used to make floors, roofs and ceilings.
It is a horizontal structural member whose size can vary depending on the size and area of the structure and its thickness can also vary.
But the minimum slab thickness is specified for normal construction around 125 mm. Generally, each slab is supported by a beam, pillar and wall around it.
