Answer:
1.16 k/ft
Explanation:
From the given information;
Using table 1.3 for Minimum design dead loads;
For 12-in clay brick,
the obtained min. design dead load = 115 psf
For Fiberboard 1/2 in. ceilings, the minimum design dead load is 0.75 psf
To start with the load that is being exerted on the floor as a result of the clay brick wall ([tex]L_1[/tex] ), we have:
[tex]L_1 = Load \times h[/tex]
[tex]L_1 = 115 \times 10[/tex]
[tex]L_1 = 1150 \ lb/ft[/tex]
To calculate the load exerted on the floor as a result of the 1/2 fireboard, we have:
[tex]L_2 = Load \times h[/tex]
[tex]L_2 = 0.75 \times 10[/tex]
[tex]L_2 = 7.5 \ lb/ft[/tex]
The total load exerted on the floor = [tex]L_1 + L_2[/tex]
The total load exerted on the floor = 1150 + 7.50
The total load exerted on the floor = 1157.50 lb/ft
To (k/ft), we get:
[tex]= 1157.50 \ lb/ft \times \dfrac{1 \ k}{1000 \ lb}[/tex]
= 1.157 k/ft
≅ 1.16 k/ft
