Five-Storey Building Load Analysis

The document provides structural load computations for four buildings: a five-storey city hall, a two-storey sports and recreation facility, a public toilet, and a material recovery facility. It includes detailed calculations for dead loads, live loads, wind loads, and seismic loads for each building, along with a summary table of total loads. The city hall has the highest dead load at 188,046 kN and live load at 61,284 kN.

Wind Load (WL) Computation

Using basic wind pressure (q) = 1.2 kPa and height factors:

 Wind Load = (Façade area) × (0.8 to 1.5 kN/m²)


 Estimated WL range: 8,000 to 15,000 kN
Seismic Load (SL) Computation

Approximate Base Shear = 0.1 – 0.3 W (W = Total Building Weight)

 Estimated SL: 20,000 – 45,000 kN
