LOAD ON STRUCTURE

Prepared by: Teng Chhay

Date: Apr, 02 2014
 Loads
• Dead Load
– self-weight

– Load of nonstructural component: floor covering, partition and

suspended ceilings
• Live loads are all other loads that are not dead loads.
• Weight of the people, furniture and goods
• Forces resulting from wind action and temperature changes
• The pressure of liquids or earth on retaining structures.
 Loads on slab
• Loads on slab are surficial load [kN/m2]

– Dead loads

 Tile: Thickness [m] × Unit weight of tile [kN/m3]

 Mortar: Thickness [m] × Unit weight of mortar[kN/m3]

 Self-weight: Thickness [m] × Unit weight of concrete [kN/m3]

 Ceiling  kN 
 m 3 
 Other load (partition wall)
 Loads on slab (cont.)
• Live load
 Slab Loads on Beam

• Slab load on beam depends on the slab systems:

– Two-way slab (b/a ≤ 2)

– One-way slab (b/a > 2)

One-way slab
Two-way slab
 Linear loads on Beam
• Brick wall
– 10cm thk. Brick Wall = brick wall height × 1.8kN/m2
– 20cm thk. Brick Wall = brick wall height × 3.6kN/m2

• Self-weight=Beam section × Unit weight of Concrete

 Slab loads on Column

• C1=w×L/2×S/2
• C2=w×L/2×S
• C3=w×L×S/2
• C4=W×L×S
Where
W : Load on slab
L : Long size of slab
S : Short size of slab
