Calculation of Loadings (Preparation for Analysis)

Solving for Tributary areas:

Area 2 = x 3.6 x 1.8

= 3.24 m2
Area 1 = x (2+5.6) x 1.8
= 6.84 m2

Dead Load:

Due to slabs:
DLs = c x Area x ts
kN/m

; c = unit weight of concrete = 24

Area 1 for 6m span beam

DLs = 24 x 6.84 x .13
DLs = 21.341 kN

w = 21.341/6
w = 3.557 kN/m

Area 2 for 4m span beam

DLs = 24 x 3.24 x .13
DLs = 10.109 kN

w = 10.109/4
w = 2.527 kN/m

Due to walls:

Beams at 2nd floor

Wall thickness, t = .15 m

Height of upper wall = hu = 4.5 m

Height of lower wall = hl = 3.5 m

DLw = c x (hl/2 + hu/2) x t

DLw = 24 x (4.5/2 + 3.5/2) x .15
DLw = 14.4 kN/m

For beams with no lower walls

DLw = c x (hu/2) x t
DLw = 24 x (3.5/2) x .15
DLw = 6.3 kN/m

Beams at 3rd floor and 4th floor:

Height of upper wall, hu = 3.5m

Height of lower wall, hl = 3.5m

DLw = c x (hl/2 + hu/2) x t

DLw = 24 x (3.5/2 + 3.5/2) x .15
DLw = 12.6 kN/m

Beams at roof deck:

Height of upper wall, hu = 0

Height of lower wall, hl = 3.5m

DLw = c x (hl/2 + hu/2) x t

DLw = 24 x (3.5/2) x 0.15
DLw = 6.3 kN/m

Due to ceiling load:

0.2 kPa distributed on slab.

For 4m span beam, Area 2

DLc = 0.2 x 3.24
DLc = .648 kN/m

For 6m span beam, Area 1

DLc = 0.2 x 6.84
DLc = 1.368 kN/m

Due to own weight:

From Staad Analysis, total weight of beams and columns:

Actual weight of the structure =

7238.113 KN
