    Load sup[port by beam is 1040 lb/ft

    Explanation:

    Given dа ta:

    dead load of floor is 50 psf

    live load of floor is 80 psf

    load per meter can be determined as

    Load/mt length = load intensity * effective width

    total load = deal load + live load

    = 50 + 80 = 130 psf

    load / mt length = 130 * 8

    = 1040 p/ft = 1.04 k / ft

    hence load sup[port by beam is 1040 lb/ft
