Answer:

Load sup[port by beam is 1040 lb/ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

dead load of floor is 50 psf

live load of floor is 80 psf

load per meter can be determined as

Load/mt length = load intensity × effective width

total load = deal load + live load

= 50 + 80 = 130 psf

load /mt length = 130 × 8

= 1040 p/ft = 1.04 k /ft

hence load sup[port by beam is 1040 lb/ft
