    Beam Load
AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating beam load for a one-way slab, with a disagreement on the correct load calculation method. The author challenges the use of 0.5nIx, arguing that the load should be calculated as 8 x 0.5nIx due to the contribution from both sides of the beam. Visual references in the photos are used to support this claim, indicating that the load from the slab should account for multiple slabs. The conversation seeks clarification and assistance in resolving this calculation discrepancy. Accurate load calculations are crucial for structural integrity in slab design.

Homework Statement



In this question , i think the author is wrong . In the question , the author use 0.5nIx , i know it's for one way slab .
P/ s : Photo 701-703 is for first case . Photo 704 to 706 are for 2nd case .

Homework Equations

The Attempt at a Solution


But , i think the load from slab should be 8 x 0.5nIx , because we can see that at the first example , the load is from both the left / right of the beam ...So , the same things go to the 2nd example , there's should be load due to the 8 slab ... ( Just like i shown in photo )
