RCD Load Computations

The document provides design criteria and load computations for sample floor framing. It specifies dead and live loads for different building occupancies and floor components. It also outlines two methods for distributing loads in two-way and one-way slab systems based on the span-to-depth ratio: 1) for short spans in two-way slabs, the uniform load is 1/3 of the unit load multiplied by the span; 2) for long spans in two-way slabs, the uniform load is calculated using a formula involving the unit load, span, and span-to-depth ratio. Preliminary sizes are provided for beams and slab thickness.

LOAD COMPUTATIONS

Sample Floor Framing

DESIGN CRITERIA:

1. DEAD LOADS

SLAB ………………………..…. 3.00 KPa For Slab Load:


SLAB FINISHING ………….. 1.10KPa Approx. thickness of slab =
Perimeter= ( 6+6+5+5 )∗1000
180
CEILING ………………………. 0.10KPa Slab Load = (Concrete Unit weight)(Slab thickness)
MEP ……………………………. 0.10KPa = (24kN/m3)(125mm) = 3kPa
Interior Partition ………… 1.00KPa
___________________________ Preliminary Size:
Total Floor Load = 5.30KPa Beam: 300x500mm
2. LIVE LOADS

Type of Occupancies

Office …………………………………….. 2.4KPa Stairway/Lobby/Corridors ……… 4.8 KPa

Residential …………………...……….. 1.9KPa Exterior Balconies ………………….. 2.9KPa

School …………………………..………. 1.9KPa Corridors ……………………………….. 3.8KPa


DISTRIBUTION OF LOADS

1. TWO-WAY SLAB SYSTEM, L/S ≤ 2.0
