    Loadings For 4 Storey Building

    Uploaded by

    SushitaBethSenobago
    This document calculates the loadings on beams in a multi-story building to prepare for structural analysis. It determines tributary areas, then calculates the dead and live loads from slabs, walls, ceilings and the structure's own weight. Dead loads include unit weight of concrete and dimensions of walls and slabs. Live load is 2 kPa for residential buildings. Load values are calculated for interior and exterior beams of different spans on each floor.

    Calculation of Loadings (Preparation for Analysis)

    Solving for Tributary areas:

    Area 2 = x 3.6 x 1.8


    = 3.24 m2
    Area 1 = x (2+5.6) x 1.8
    = 6.84 m2

    Dead Load:

    Due to slabs:
    DLs = c x Area x ts
    kN/m

    ; c = unit weight of concrete = 24

    Area 1 for 6m span beam


    DLs = 24 x 6.84 x .13
    DLs = 21.341 kN

    w = 21.341/6
    w = 3.557 kN/m

    Area 2 for 4m span beam


    DLs = 24 x 3.24 x .13
    DLs = 10.109 kN

    w = 10.109/4
    w = 2.527 kN/m

    Due to walls:

    Beams at 2nd floor


    Wall thickness, t = .15 m

    Height of upper wall = hu = 4.5 m


    Height of lower wall = hl = 3.5 m

    DLw = c x (hl/2 + hu/2) x t


    DLw = 24 x (4.5/2 + 3.5/2) x .15
    DLw = 14.4 kN/m

    For beams with no lower walls


    DLw = c x (hu/2) x t
    DLw = 24 x (3.5/2) x .15
    DLw = 6.3 kN/m

    Beams at 3rd floor and 4th floor:

    Height of upper wall, hu = 3.5m


    Height of lower wall, hl = 3.5m

    DLw = c x (hl/2 + hu/2) x t


    DLw = 24 x (3.5/2 + 3.5/2) x .15
    DLw = 12.6 kN/m

    Beams at roof deck:

    Height of upper wall, hu = 0


    Height of lower wall, hl = 3.5m

    DLw = c x (hl/2 + hu/2) x t


    DLw = 24 x (3.5/2) x 0.15
    DLw = 6.3 kN/m

    Due to ceiling load:


    0.2 kPa distributed on slab.

    For 4m span beam, Area 2


    DLc = 0.2 x 3.24
    DLc = .648 kN/m

    For 6m span beam, Area 1


    DLc = 0.2 x 6.84
    DLc = 1.368 kN/m

    Due to own weight:

    From Staad Analysis, total weight of beams and columns:


    Actual weight of the structure =

    7238.113 KN

    Total Dead Load (except own weight) carried by the beams:


    For 6m interior beams @ 2nd floor
    Wdl = 2(3.557) + 14.4 + 2(1.368)
    Wdl = 24.25 kN/m
    For 6m exterior beams @ 2nd floor
    Wdl = 3.557 + 14.4 + 1.368
    Wdl = 19.325 kN/m
    For 6m beams with no lower walls @ 2nd floor
    Wdl = 3.557 + 6.3
    Wdl = 9.857 kN/m

    Wdl = 2.527 + 14.4 + .648
    Wdl = 17.575 kN/m

    Wdl = 17.525 kN/m
    For 4m interior beams @ 3rd and 4th floor
    Wdl = 2(2.527) + 12.6 +2(.648)
    Wdl = 18.95 kN/m
    For 4m exterior beams @ 3rd and 4th floor
    Wdl = 2.527 + 12.6 + .648
    Wdl = 15.772 kN/m
    For 6m interior beams @ roof deck
    Wdl = 2(3.557) + 6.3 + 2(1.368)
    Wdl = 16.15 kN/m
    For 6m exterior beams @ roof deck
    Wdl = 3.557 + 6.3 + 1.368
    Wdl = 11.225 kN/m
    For 4m interior beams @ roof deck
    Wdl = 2(2.527) + 6.3 + 2(.648)
    Wdl = 12.65 kN/m
    For 4m exterior beam @ roof deck
    Wdl = 2.527 + 6.3 + .648

    Wdl = 9.475 kN/m


    Live Load:
    Live load for residential/hotels = 2 kPa
    Tributary Areas:
    Area 1 = 6.84 m2
    Area 2 = 3.24 m2

    For 6m interior beams


    WLL = {2(6.84) x 2}/6
