Load Calculation for Slab Design
For One way, Two way and Cantilever
i. Dead Load(DL)=D x 1 x 25= …… kN/m
ii. Live Load (LL)= 2 kN/m
iii. Floor Finish (FF)=2 kN/m
Total Load on Slab= DL + LL +FF
Factored Load (w) =1.5 x (DL + LL +FF)
Load Calculation for Beam
Design (Wb)
1. Load Transfer from slab to beam
2. Self Weight of Beam
3. Ultimate wall load
Total Load on Beam (Wb)=
Load Transfer from slab to beam
+ Self Weight of Beam
+Ultimate wall load
1. Load Transfer from slab to beam
1. In One way slab load transfer on beam
𝐰𝐥𝐱
W=
𝟐
Where,
W= Load on beam from slab (kN/m)
w= 1.5 x (DL + LL +FF)
lx = shorter span
2. In Two way slab load transfer on beam
For Longer side design
wlx 1
W= [1- 2]
2 3k
Where,
• W= Load on beam from slab (kN/m)
• w= 1.5 x (DL + LL +FF)
• lx = shorter span
ly
• k=
lx
2. In Two way slab load transfer on beam
For Shorter side design
wlx 1
W= [1- ]
2 2k
Where,
• W= Load on beam from slab (kN/m)
• w= 1.5 x (DL + LL +FF)
• lx = shorter span
ly
• k=
lx
2. Self Weight of Beam
• Ultimate self weight of beam (B1)
= 1.5 x RCC Concrete density x b x D
=1.5 X 25 X b X D
Where as,
RCC Concrete density =25 kN/m3
b= Width of beam =300mm (0.3m)
D= Overall depth of beam
There for,
Ultimate self weight of beam (B1)=1.5 x 25 x 0.3 x D
Unit of self wt(kN/m)
3. Ultimate wall/Parapet wall load on Beam
• Ultimate wall load on beam (B1)
= 1.5 x Brick Masonry density x b x H
=1.5 X 19 X b X D
Where as,
Brick Masonry density =19 kN/m3
b= Width of wall =300mm (0.3m)
H= Clear height of wall
There for,
Ultimate wall load on beam (B1)=1.5 x 19 x 0.3 x H
Unit of Ultimate wall load on beam (kN/m)
Load Calculation for Column
Design
1. Load Transfer from Beam to Column
2. Self Weight of Column
Total Load on Column=
Load Transfer from Beam to Column
+ Self Weight of Column
[Link] Transfer from Beam to Column
Load Transfer from Beam(B1) to Column
Means (Wb) Transferred on C1 and C2
As shown in fig.
𝐖𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞
Load on Column (Wc1 ) =
𝟐
𝐖𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞
Load on Column (Wc2 ) =
𝟐
Unit of Wc1 or Wc2 load is kN
2. Self Weight of Column
• Ultimate self weight of Column (C1)
= 1.5 x RCC Concrete density x Size of Column x Clear
Height of Column
=1.5 X 25 X (b x b ) X H
Where as,
i. RCC Concrete density =25 kN/m3
ii. b x b = Size of Column
iii. H= Clear Height of Column ( Take Floor to Floor Height 3
m and Deduct Depth of Concern Beam (B1)
There for,
Ultimate self weight of Column (C1)=1.5 x 25 x b x b x D
Unit of self wt (kN)
Load Calculation for Footing
Design
1. Load Transfer from Column to Footing
2. Self Weight of Footing
Total Load on Column(Wc)=
Load Transfer from Column to Footing
+ Self Weight of Footing
Load Calculation for Footing Design
1. Load Transfer from Column to Footing
Take Wc
2. Self weight of Footing =10% of Load
Transfer from Column to Footing (Wc)
There for Total Load of footing (WF) =
𝟏𝟎
Wc + Wc 𝐱 (Unit kN)
