Figure 1 - Part 1st Floor Plan
Overview
Figure 1 shows a part 1st floor plan for the redevelopment of a substantial residential property. You
have been appointed by the owner of the property, following a visit to site by the Local Authorities
Building Control Inspector, to design a series of floor beams and joists to enable the works to be
progressed.
Client Requirements.
You are required to complete a formal design for the floor structure shown, adopting the general rules
for bending and deflection that have been covered in your studies to date, and satisfying the design
criteria given below.

Design Requirements
1. Floor joists - Ref. JOIST 1.
The drawing details 175mm × 47mm C24 joists at 600mm centres. You are required to
complete a design check for these joists, considering both bending and deflection. If the joists
fail the design checks you are to propose an alternative section, based on standard section sizes
that satisfies all the required checks. You should note that the maximum joist depth should not
exceed 250mm.
[30 Marks]
2. Floor joists - Ref. JOIST 2.
The new infill floor is to be constructed with C16 floor joists 47mm wide. You are required to
specify a joist depth that satisfies the bending and deflection criteria.
[20 Marks]
3. Beam A & B
Design check required, i.e. check the maximum stress at the outer most fibre of the section and
the mid span deflection. Comment on your results.

Design Criteria
UNIVERSITY OF LEEDS
All timber and steel beams and joists to be checked for both bending and deflection.
Bending Checks
For bending you should check that the applied bending stress, developed as a result of the applied
moment, is less than the maximum permissible stress.
All your design calculations associated with bending and stress are to utilise the applied loads at the
Ultimate Limit State. You are to adopt the simplified fundamental load combination as follows:
Where:
WULS = 1.359k + 1.5qk
=
gk Permanent actions
=
qk Variable actions
For information, the Engineers Theory of Bending is as follows:
σ
617
M
I
=-
Where:
M = Bending Moment
σ = Bending Stress
E = Young's Modulus of Elasticity
Deflection
y
I = Second Moment of Area
y = Distance from centroid to extreme fibre
R = Radius of Curvature
For deflection, you should ensure that the maximum mid-span deflection is less
that the deflection limits given below.
When considering deflection, you should design for the Serviceability Limit State i.e.:
WSLS = 1.09k + 1.0qk
The maximum mid span deflection can be calculated as follows:
5WL³
For UD load - max =
384EI
PL³
For mid span point load
бтах =
48EI
Where:
W = Total load on the beam (kN).
L = Beam span (m).
P = Point load (kN).
E = Young's Modulus (kN/mm²).
| = Second moment of area (cm4).
