Calculate Area Reactions from Conventional Framing
Now that you understand how to calculate a reaction using load areas, let's calculate the
reaction from a conventionally framed beam supporting conventional framing. Once we have
calculated the load we will apply it to the girder. The total job load is 40 PSF and the rest of the
information is shown below.
Using the formula from the last example to calculate the load, we find the reaction = 1000 lbs.
