L. Load Analysis: A floor beam is used to support the 3-m width of a reinforced concrete slab having a thickness of 120 mm. The slab serves as a portion of the ceiling for the floor below and it's bottom is coated with plaster. Furthermore, a 2.75-m high, 12.5-cm thick lightweight solic concrete block wall is directly over the top flange of the beam. The cross-sectional area of the wide flange steel beam is 36,645 mm2. Determine the total dead load carried by the steel beam (expressed in kN/m).

Question
![1. Load Analysis: A floor beam is used to support the 3-m
width of a reinforced concrete slab having a thickness of
120 mm. The slab serves as a portion of the ceiling for the
floor below and it's bottom is coated with plaster.
Furthermore, a 2.75-m high, 12.5-cm thick lightweight solid
concrete block wall is directly over the top flange of the
beam. The cross-sectional area of the wide flange steel
beam is 36,645 mm2. Determine the total dead load carried
by the steel beam (expressed in kN/m).
