Soil Loads
Active soil pressures are generally used for soil load calculations. Active pressures are applied loads induced by the soil onto the contained environment. Passive pressures are forces induced by the…
Wind Loads
Wind load values are based on the height of the structure, in which design wind pressures with respect to height about site or ground level can be obtained. Values are also dependent…
Typical Loads
These loads are often used for scheme design purposes. It should be noted that these loads are preliminary estimates and should not be used for actual design. These loads are…
Load Types and Combinations
Structural framing needs to be designed for loads that fulfill client’s performance requirements, to transfer loads stably through proper load paths, and to fulfill code requirements for spans and headroom…
Ribbed Slab/Waffle Slab
-Gravity loads transferred from slabs to beams -Loads carried floor by floor to columns/core walls in shortest path. -Columns/core walls transfer the loads to the foundation
Wall Slab: Load Path
-Gravity loads imposed on and transferred through slabs -Loads carried floor by floor to structural walls in shortest path. -Walls transfer the loads down to the foundation
Beam Slab: Load Path
-Gravity loads transfer through slabs to beams -Loads carried floor by floor from beams to columns/core walls in shortest path -Columns/Core walls carry the loads down to the foundation
Flat Slab: Load Path
-Gravity loads imposed on and transferred to flat slabs -Loads carried floor by floor from slabs to nearest columns / core walls in shortest path. -Columns/Core walls carry the loads…
