Professor, how about the tributary area for girder at grid line B ? Should it go from grid line 1 to 4 vertically and half of grid A&B and B&C? or should it only go to half of grid 2 and half of grid 3? I'm confuse on this. Can you please explain. Thank you.

Hi Mie, very good question. The answer is yes and no. You have to keep in mind to calculate the loads for girder B1-4 you must first calculate the reaction force of beams AB(1,2,3 and4) BC(1,2,3 and 4). These beams are supported by girder B. I highly recommend you to watch kzfaq.info/get/bejne/a85nqthe2cmWdKM.html this example is exactly what you are asking.
