PRIMARY LOAD CASES:

1. GRAVITY LOADS:

A. For Typical Floor (Except Ground Floor):

A.1. DEAD LOAD:
>Self-weight, SW

> Superimposed Dead Load, SDL

>Ceiling = 0.2 KPa
> Utilities = 0.2 KPa
> Floor Toppings = 0.7 KPa
> Floor Finishes = 0.6 KPa
> Movable Partitions = 0.5 KPa
> Slab = 2.4 KPa
>TOTAL = 4.6 KPa

> Exterior Wall = 3.1 KPa * Wall Height (3.5m – 0.50m) = 9.30 kN/m
> Interior Wall = 2.1 KPa * Wall Height (3.5m – 0.50m) = 6.30 kN/m

A.2. LIVE LOAD

> *Varies (depending on the type of structure you are designing)
> Please refer to NSCP 6th Edition

B. Roof Deck
B.1. DEAD LOAD
>Self-weight, SW

> Superimposed Dead Load, SDL

> Ceiling = 0.2 KPa
> Utilities = 0.2 KPa
> Floor Toppings = 0.7 KPa
> Floor Finishes = 0.6 KPa
> Slab = 2.4 KPa
>TOTAL = 4.1 KPa

> Parapet Wall = 3.1 KPa * Wall Height (1.5m) = 4.65 kN/m

B.2. LIVE LOAD

> *Varies (depending on the type of structure you are designing)
> Please refer to NSCP 6th Edition

2. LATERAL LOADS:

A. SEISMIC LOAD
Design Parameters (As per UBC 1997)
Soil Profile Type = Sc
Seismic Zone Factor (Zone 4) = 0.4
Seismic Source Type =A
Distance to Nearest Seismic Source = 15 km
Importance Factor, I = *Varies (depending of the type of structure you are
designing, please refer to NSCP 6th Edition)
R (Overstrength Factor) = 8.5
Ct (Concrete Moment-Resisting Frame) = 0.03
 B. WIND LOAD
Design Parameters (ASCE 7-05) Extent of Rigid Diaphragm
Basic Wind Speed, V = 200 KPH (124.3 mph)
Importance Factor, I = *Varies (depending of the type of structure you are
designing, please refer to NSCP 6th Edition)
Exposure Type =B
Pressure Coefficient, Cp
Windward = 0.8
Leeward = 0.5
Parapet Height = 1.5 m
Kzt (Topography Factor) = 1.0
Gust Factor, G = 0.85
Directionality Factor, Kd = 0.85

MISCELLANEOUS ASSIGNMENTS:

1. DIAGPHRAGM
Assign floor as “Rigid” Diaphragm

2. MASS SOURCE
Specify all dead loads (SW & SDL) for mass source for seismic weight.

3. CONCRETE FRAME DESIGN REQUIREMENTS

Use ACI 318-05 Load combinations and design provisions for Concrete Frame Design
