2.4 DESIGN LOADS
Dead load shall mean the total weight of structures and/or foundations, and all materials permanently attached there to or supported thereby. The unit weight of material conform to IS 875 – Part - I.
Self-weight- self weight of the building can be calculated directly by Staad pro.
Unit weight of R.C.C Members = 25.0 kN/m3
Unit weight of Structural Steel = 78.5 kN/m3
Unit weight of brick wall= 18 kN/m3
2.4.1 Loads on the floor slab
· Interior partition= 1 KN/m2
· Floor finishing load= load of slab+ load of tile finishing
= 25×0.150+ 17×0.05
=4.6 KN/m2
· Miscellaneous= 0.50 KN/m2
· Total loads on the floor slabs= 6.1 KN/m2
2.4.2 Loads on the roof slab
· Insulation and water proofing= 0.20 KN/m2
· MEP services loads below roof slab= 0.50 KN/m2
· Miscellaneous= 0.50 KN/m2
· Total load on roof slab= 1.5 KN/m2
2.4.3 Loads on the beams
· Brick wall load (exterior wall)= 18× 0.23×3.5 =14.49 KN/m
· Brick wall load (interior wall)= 18× 0.15×3.5 =9.45 KN/m
· Parapet wall load on the roof= 18× 0.15×1 =2.7 KN/m
2.4.4 Live Loads
Live loads shall mean the moving or movable external loads on structures, foundations and buildings produced by people, tools and furnishings of buildings etc. which are not permanently fixed there to. These are applied as per IS 875 (Part II). Live load to be considered for all the structures is as follows.

· Corridor/ passage/ stair case including fire escape-3 KN/m2
2.4.5 Earthquake loads
As per IS 1893-2016 the structure is considered to be located in Zone II (0.24 g Acceleration) that is in Bangalore of the seismic map of India.
The separate seismic analysis report (SAR) would be shared highlighting the findings based on the dynamic analysis carried out considering latest IS 1893:2016.
The following parameters are used for seismic design in all structures:
|
Zone factor (Z) |
=0.10 (ZONE II) |
|
Importance factor (I) |
=1 |
|
Response reduction factor (R) |
=5 |
|
Soil type |
=I |
The category of a building as per the IS 1893-2016 comes under SMRF i.e. Special
R.C moment resisting frame.
The horizontal earthquake forces have been calculated for the full dead load and 50% of live load as applicable as per IS: 1893-2016.
2.4.6 Wind loads
The wind loading will be as per IS 875(Part–3):2015 and the Basic wind pressure (Pz) shall be determined based on the following formulae:
Pz=0.6*(Vz)2 N/m2
Where,
Vz - Design wind speed at height z in m/s
Vz = (Vb x k1 x k2 x k3 x k4) N/m2
Where,Vb- Basic wind speed m/sec = 33 m/s (For Bangalore)
k1 - Risk Co-efficient factor for mean probable design life of structure (i.e.50 years) as minimum 1.00
k2 -Terrain, height and structure size factor depending on the terrain category (Terrain Category 2) (to be reconfirmed with height of structure at execution stage)
k2 has been calculated as per the IS 875 part III, clause no- 6.3.2.2, table no 2 and page no-8
k3 - Topography factor i.e 1.0
k4 - Importance factor for cyclonic region i.e 1.0
The design wind pressure shall be determined by the following formulae:
Pd= Kd * Ka* Kc * Pz
Where,
Kd - Wind directionality factor
Ka - Area averaging factor
Kc - Combination factor
Considering the building elevation and configuration of roof, external coefficient & other parameters would be workout as per criteria given in IS 875 (part 3):2015, clause 7.3.3.2 and 7.3.3.3.
In addition to the above, following guidelines needs to be followed:
Pressure coefficient for the local effects should be used for calculation of forces on local areas affecting roof sheeting, glass panels and individual claddings including their fixtures as per clause 7.3 of IS 875 (Part3).
