Aim: To Apply loading to the structure

Load Calculations:

a) Dead load of 1.2 Kn/m2

b) Finishes= 50mm * 24Kn/m3 =1.2Kn/m2

c) Brickwall Load= 0.15*20*5.2 = 15.6 Kn/m ( Ground to Intermediate Floor)

d) Brickwall load= 0.15*20*6.8 = 20.4 Kn/m2 ( Intermediate to roof Floor)

e) Brickwall load= 0.15*20*4.8 =14.4 Kn/m2 ( Roof to top Floor)

f) Roof load= 1.5Kn/m

g) Ceiling load= 0.3Kn/m

Procedure:

1.Opening TEKLA and in load defining the following load cases

2. Defining the load combinations

3. Selecting Load as dead and selecting the area load and entering the value of 1.2Kn/m applying the load from ground floor to the roof floor slabs

4. Selecting Load as dead and selecting the Full udl load and applying the brickwall loads

Brickwall Load= 0.15*20*5.2 = 15.6 Kn/m ( Ground to Intermediate Floor)

Brickwall load= 0.15*20*6.8 = 20.4 Kn/m2 ( Intermediate to roof Floor)

Brickwall load= 0.15*20*4.8 =14.4 Kn/m2 ( Roof to top Floor)

5. Applying a roof load of 1.5Kn/m to the roof
