Beam and Column Size Calculations

The document provides preliminary sizing calculations for structural elements of a building, including: 1) A beam with dimensions of 200mm x 400mm. 2) A column with dimensions of 450mm x 450mm. 3) Slab thicknesses for three floors ranging from 300mm to 450mm depending on column size. The calculations consider loads, material strengths, and code requirements to determine preliminary sizes for structural elements.
