Hi,
I am analyzing G+2 Building structure. I have applied Floor load by Grouping Method ( Without the modelling of the Plate). I am getting heavy reinforcement in beam. Kindly help me to find out the reason behind this.
Also, Is this the correct method to apply Floor Load ?
Input Data
Slab thickness 150mm
Concrete Density - 25KN/m^2
Live Load Considered - 2.25 KN/m^2
Total Applied Load = 25 x0.15 + 2.25 = 6KN/m^2
File is attached Below for your reference.

You have applied the floor load correctly in your model. The one point I would like to highlight here that the selfweight of the slab should be placed under dead load condition.
Regarding high reinforcement, canb you please point out a member? Consider the span and load 300mm depth seems a bit low. You can try with 350 to 400mm depth which wioll give you lower reinforcement.
I calculated total weight of slab ( DL + LL) and put under LL rather than DL and LL seperately. Will it impact on the calculation ?
Please check member no mentioned below regarding higher reinforcement.
