(Design Loads)
Dead Loads
An engineered design approach involves calculating
a demand due to loads, and comparing the demand
with the capacity of the member or element under
consideration.
o Gravity (dead) loads are a natural starting point
dead load is an ever-present load
o
Dead Loads
Weights of all materials permanently attached to the
structure including the following:
o weight of the roof or wood floor system
o sheathing
o framing
o Insulation
o ceiling
o piping, automatic fire sprinkler, ducts
o fixed equipment
o etc.

For the reduction of both roof live load (Lr) and L, the
area contribution load to the member under design
consideration is taken into account.
for roof live load (Lr), the tributary area is used

L = reduced design live load per square meter of

Lo = unreduced design live load per square meter of

Note: The reduced live load shall not be less than 50% of the unit live load for
members receiving load from one level only, nor less that 40 percent of the unit live
load for other members.

Example Problem
Determine
the
uniformly
distributed roof loads (including
dead load and roof live load) for
the purlins and girders in the
building shown.
Also determine the total load on
column C1.
Assume that the roof is flat
(except for a minimum slope of
in/ft for drainage).
Roof dead load D = 8 psf.

Example Problem
Wind Forces for MWRFS
Determine the design wind pressures
based on the simplified method for the
primary Lateral Force Resisting System
(LRFS). This is a gable structure that uses a
system of diaphragms and shear walls for
resisting lateral forces. The building is a
standard occupancy enclosed structure
located in Zone 2. Exposure C is to be
used, Kzt is 1.0.
Wind forces for designing MWFRS are
obtained based on ps9 from NSCP. End
zone and interior zone locations to be
considered for horizontal pressures on the
vertical projection of the building surface
