How to Load Calculation on Column, Beam, Wall & Slab
In the construction section, you’ll be acquainted with the processes needed for computing the loads that function on beam, column, slab and wall in a structure.
The overall weight of wall, slab and beam is carried through the column and shifted towards foundation.
Procedure to calculate self-weight of beam is described. Beam with size 230 mm x 450 mm without slab thickness is assumed.
At the time load of beam is calculated, calculation of slab’s load, column’s load and beam’s load is done separately. This procedure can be followed in order to calculate self-weight of any beam.
Specified subsequently, the information regarding the sorts of loads functioning at the column:-
The column self weight x Overall quantity of floors
Beam own weight for each going meter x overall beam length
Wall load for each running meter x overall quantity of meters with regard to wall construction
Overall loads functioning on slab which include dead load (created for keeping furnishings and additional things), live load (created for person travel), own weight and more.
Regardless of aforementioned loads, the bending moment even functions on beam, column, slab and wall. That must be considered in concluding design.
Dimension of loads on column
Concrete self weight is 2400 kg/m3 [240 KN]
Steel self weight is 7850 kg/m3 [8000 kg/m3 nearly]
Assume, the column size is 230 mm x 600 mm possessing 1 percent steel and 3 m criterion height.
As a result, the concrete volume = 0.600 x 0.23 x 3 = 0.414 m3 (concrete density).

In this tutorial I will show you how to beam load calculation, RCC beam self weight calculation etc...
Suppose every 1 m of the beam has dimension. Suppose the length of beam is 1 m.
Size of Beam is 230 mm x 450 mm without slab.
Concrete volume = 0.23 m x 0.45 m x 1 m = 0.124 m3 (Converted in m)
Weight of Concrete = 0.124 x 2400 = 297.6 kg
Steel weight (2 %) in concrete = 0.124 x 0.02 x 7850 = 19.46 kg
Overall weight of Beam = Weight of concrete + Weight of steel = 297.6 +19.46 kg = 317.06 kg/m = 3.17 kN/m
As a result, the self-weight is going to be approximately 3.17 kN per running meter.
