C.) Structural Steel Section

A36 Carbon Steel is used in the design of steel members.
The structural steel shapes and its sizes used in the design are as follows:

Table of Structural Steel Section

Member Steel Section
Girder W8 x 31
Int. Beam W8 x 21
Column W8 x 31

II. Loadings
The following loads shall be applied in the design of structures and the worst case
loading will be used to determine the maximum design forces:
1.) DL : Dead Load
2.) LL : Live Load
3.) W : Wind Load on Structure
 4.) EQ : Earthquake Forces

1) DEAD LOAD (DL)

The dead load shall consist of the weight of the entire structure. The table below
gives the unit weights of materials used in the design.

Material Unit Weight (kN/m3)

Reinforced concrete 24
Plain Concrete 23
Others as indicated

2) LIVE LOAD (LL)

The live load shall be the maximum loads expected by the intended use or
occupancy.
a) Floor Live Loads
Floors shall be taken as the minimum live loads in kilonewton per square
meter of horizontal projection to be used in the design of buildings for
the occupancies listed below.

Occupancy Uniform Load

Access Floor System (office) 2.4 Kpa
Access Floor System (computer use) 4.8 Kpa
Armories 7.2Kpa
Assembly areas and Auditorium 7.2 Kpa
Dining Rooms and Restaurant 4.8 Kpa
Exit Facilities 4.8 Kpa
Garages 4.8 Kpa
Hospitals 2.9 Kpa
Libraries 7.2 Kpa
Offices 2.4 Kpa
Residential (Basic floor area) 1.9 Kpa
Schools (Classroom) 1.9 Kpa

b) Minimum Roof Live Loads

Roofs shall be designed for the unit live loads set forth in Table 205-3 of
NSCP 2010.

3) WIND LOAD (W or WL)

Every building or structure and every portion thereof shall be designed and
constructed to resist the wind effects determined in accordance with the
requirements of Section 207 of NSCP 2010.

4) EARTHQUAKE FORCES (EQ)

Structures shall be designed to resist earthquake motions considering the
relationship of the site to active faults, the seismic response of soil at the
site, and the dynamic response characteristics of the total structure in
accordance with NSCP 2010
