Load transfer slab to frame and Hand calculation

I’ll show you how to manually transfer slab loads—both SDL and Live Load—to supporting beams, step by step using hand calculation. We’ll discuss: ✅ What is Superimposed Dead Load (SDL)? ✅ How Live Load from the slab is transferred to the beams. ✅ How to calculate the equivalent tributary area of the slab for a particular beam. ✅ And finally, how to convert area loads (kN/m² or psf) into line loads (kN/m or plf) that act on beams.
