Self Weight
Slab dead load at each floor is calculated by simply multiplying the thickness of the slab and tributary area of the slab and unit weight of slab material. Since the tributary areas at each floor is the same, only one floor calculation is shown as an example.
→ (8/12)*95.83*150/1000=9.583 kips
Column dead load at each floor is also calculated by simply multiplying the section area of column and height of the column and unit weight column material. Since the column section and floor height at each floor is the same, only one column dead load calculation is shown as an example.
→ (24*14/144)*10*150=3.5 kips
Self weight is the cumulative sum of slab dead load and column dead load.
→ 9.58+3.5 =13.08 kips
→ 13.08+(13.08+3.5)= 26.17 kips
→ 26.17 + (13.08+3.5)= 39.25 kips
→ 39.25 + (13.08+3.5)= 52.33 kips
Superimposed Dead Load

Figure 15
→ 3rd floor tributary force = 6.04+0.3*11.5+95.83*15/1000=10.93 kips
→ 2nd floor tributary force = 10.93+0.3*11.5+95.83*15/1000+10*(21.055/82.08)=18.38 kips
