Using the tributary area method, compute the floor dead loads supported by columns A1 and B2, and determine the axial load-carrying capacity of steel columns and reinforced concrete columns.
The floor system shown above consists of a \\( 150 \\mathrm{~mm} \\)-thick reinforced concrete slab weighing. Allow \\( 5 \\mathrm{kN} / \\mathrm{m} 2 \\) for the weight of floor beams, utilities, and a ceiling suspended from the floor. The precast exterior wall supported by the perimeter beams weighs \\( 60 \\mathrm{kN} / \\mathrm{m} \\).
