^_ For example : Find the safe live load which a 4 



"Stcelcrete 



inch slab, reinforced with 3-13-10 * ' Steelcrete" 



RIOI8TIRID 



Expanded Metal, will carry on a simple span of 6 feet, 

 with the unit stress in the concrete and steel 650 and 16000 Ibs. 

 per sq. in., respectively. 



Looking in the table, we find for the above conditions with 



Wl 

 a bending moment of y^* the safe live load is 84 Ibs. per sq. ft. 



Adding the weight of a 4 inch slab, 50 Ibs., gives a safe total load 



o 



of 134 Ibs. Then, of 134 Ibs. gives 89 Ibs. safe total load, and 

 by deducting the weight of the slab, gives a safe live load of 

 39 Ibs. per sq. ft. 



Kindly insert these tables in your ''Steelcrete" Expanded 

 Metal Catalog after page 42.

THE CONSOLIDATED EXPANDED METAL GO'S.
