A part of slab is given in the figure. The slab is supported by secondary beams AB, CD and EF which are placed with a 50cm spacing. The secondary beams transfer the load they carry to the main beams.In the figure, AE and FB are the visible part of the main beams. Finally, main beams are supported by the columns at both ends. The slab is under uniformly distributed load q=4.5 kN/m2. The span length L is 3,5 m. Determine the dimendions of rectengular cross-sections of timber beams CD and the main beam which has a length of 4 m.
