A more experienced engineer on the team anticipates the floor and roof to be 12 inches thick. The superimposed dead load (weight of flooring, ceilings, lights, ducts, etc.) will be about 10 psf on the floor and roof. Initially let's assume each beam and girder has aself-weight of 75 plf. Our task is to find the idealized dead load on girder A3-B3 for level 2, including its own self-weight.
