Load Calculation in A Building

The document calculates loads on a beam, column, and footing for a G+1 residential building. It determines the live load, slab thickness, and beam and column sizes. It then calculates the dead load, total load, and loads on specific beams and columns at each floor based on their cross-sectional areas and contributory load-bearing areas. The maximum calculated loads are 10.75 kN/m on a roof beam and 236.438 kN on a ground floor column.
