Each joist supports an area equal to its span times half the distance to the joist on either side.
The pier supports half the area supported by the truss Each truss girder supports girder plus area from an other area equal to itselements span times structural that it half the distance to the girder supports. The truss girders on either side. transfer their loads to the supporting piers and columns.
The girders are not single span so the tributary area for the columns cannot be graphically determined
The area tributary to a joist equals the length of the joist times the sum of half the distance to each adjacent joist. The area tributary to a girder equals the length of the girder times the sum of half the distance to each adjacent girder.
Girders Support Joists Metal Deck/Slab System Supports Floor Loads Above Joists Support Floor Deck
The point load consists of the reaction from the two supported joists which equals the tributary area (1/2 the cantilever span times the Exterior spacing joist of the carried cantilevers) load to the times supporting the pressure cantilever load on the floor beam plus ends the self weight of the joist. The load diagram for the cantilever (excluding self wt) consists of a single point load at the end of the Deck carries load to edge cantilever. joist and wall.
Cantilever Loads
Hip Beam
This beam picks up load from joists of varying lengths. In this case the resulting load distribution would have a linearly varying component. The illustrated area is part of the tributary area at the roof deck level.
The hip beam also picks up a point load reaction from a pair of the roof girders.
