DEAD LOADS IN A BUILDING
The dead load for which a building component is designed includes the self-load of the component plus the dead loads of all other components that it supports. For example, the dead load on a column includes the weight of the column itself plus all the dead load imposed on it. In Figure 3.3, the dead load on a column is the weight of the column plus the dead load from the beams and slab resting on it. Similarly, the dead load on a beam is the weight of the beam itself plus the dead load from the slab that it supports. The dead load on the slab is only the self-weight of the slab. However, if the slab supports a floor finish, ceiling, light fixtures, or plumbing and electrical pipes, their weights must be included in the dead load acting on the slab.
