Structural Design Load Calculations

This document summarizes the design information and load assumptions for a building, including: 1) The design standards and codes followed are ASCE 7-05 for loading cases, ACI-2008 for concrete design, and BNBC 2017. 2) The dead and live loads are specified in tables, and other loads accounted for are wind, earthquake, and material strengths. 3) The load combinations for design according to the specified codes are listed. Checks for maximum lateral sway due to wind against code provisions are also specified.

(vi) Load Combinations for design according to code:

Load Effect Combinations for Design: [Sec. 2.7.3]:

1) 1.4(D+F) Where,
2) 1.2(D+F+T) + 1.6(L+H) + 0.5(Lr or D = Dead load
R)
E = Seismic load
3) 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or R) + (L or 0.8W)
Ex = Seismic load at X direction
4) 1.2D + 1.6W + L + 0.5(Lr or R)
EY = Seismic load at Y direction
5) 1.2D + E + L
F = Fluid pr.
6) 0.9D + 1.6W + 1.6H
H = Soil pr.
7) 0.9D + E + 1.6H
L = Live load
Lr = Roof live load
R = Rain load
T = Thermal load
W = Wind load
Wx= Wind load at X direction
WY= Wind load at Y direction

(vii) Maximum lateral sway due to wind and check against
codeprovisions
The load combination for checking sway is, D + 0.5L + 0.7W[Sec. 2.7.5, Part 6]
Where,
D= Dead Load
L= Live load
W= Wind Load

Check:
As per BNBC-2017 overall sway of the building at top shall not be more than 1/500 of
the height of the building. [Sec. [Link], Part 6]
