Live Load Specifications for Roofs

1. The document outlines various loadings to be considered for structural design, including area loadings for different parts of the building like roofs, floors, and specific rooms. 2. It provides live and super dead load values in kPa for roofs, terraces, offices, corridors, and toilets. Higher loads are specified for areas like gas cylinder rooms and control rooms. 3. Point loadings include loads from an overhead water tank and a telecom tower, specifying live and dead load values in kN. 4. Line loadings include partition wall loads.
