CHAPTER 2 COMBINATION OF LOADS

2-1. General
The following criteria stipulate combinationsof loads to be considered in the design of structures and foundations. Combined loads produce the most unfavorable effect on foundations, structural members, and connections. Accordingly the designer will select the appropriate combined loads that create the most unfavorable affect when one or more of the contributing loads are present. specified in ACI 318. However, for earthquake loading on concrete structures, use the load combinations specified in 'I'M 5-809-101AFM 88-3, Chap. 13. For timber wnstruction, use the load combinations in the American Institute of Timber Construction (AITC) "Timber Construction Manual". As a clarification of the ASCE 7requirement5 note that allowable stresses will not be increased for wind, snow, or earthquake loads when used in conjunction with the ASCE 7 load combinations for allowable stress design. The increase is already considered in the combinations indicated in ASCE 7. The load combination factor for dead load and one transient load (e.g. wind load) is 1.0 for allowable stress design. Therefore, no increase in allowable stress is permitted for dead load and one transient load. However, the load combination factor is less than one for dead load combined with two or more transient loads. When designing for wind uplift and overturning due to loads such as wind and seismic, the minimum inlieu of maximum assumed dead loadings should be used in the load combinations.

2-2. Combined loads for class A (bridge-type structures)

The design provisions of the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the American Railway Engineering Association (AREA) will be used for class A structures.

2-3. Combined loads for class B (building-type structures) and class C (special structures)
The combined loads for class B andclass Cstructureswill be as specified in ASCE 7 with the following exceptions. For concrete construction, use the load combinations

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL
1-1. Purpose
This manual provides the structural criteria for loads to bc used in the design and construction of buildings and other structures for the Army and the Air Force. the above two categories, including storage tanks, cable guyed and supported structures, tension fabric structures, floating structures, and others designated as special structures in specific design manuals for these types of structures. Class C also covers temporary construction such as shoring, falsework, formwork, etc..

1-2. Scope
Load criteria presented in this manual apply to designs for new military construction and for modifications of existing buildings and other structures for the Army and the Air Force. Engineering judgment must be used in calculating design loads. The dead loads specified herein are for guidance only. The designer must detcrmine and allow for the actual dead loads in the structure. The live, wind, and snow loadings specified herein are minimums. The designer should determine if special loadings must be considered.

1-6. Application of design load criteria

The design load criteria for the above defined classes of structures will be based on the following sources. a. Class A Structures. For Class A structures the provisions of the American Association of Stale Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and American Railway Engineering Association (AREA) design standards will he used. b. Classes B and C Slructures. For Classes B and C structures the applicable provisions of this manual will be used. Most of the crileria presented in this manual is for Class B (building- type) structures. Selected provisions for some Class C structures (including tension fabric structures) are included i n Chapter 8.

1-3. References
Appendix A contains a list of references used in this document.

1-4. Basis for design

Except as modified herein, all design load criteria except seismic are based on the requirements in ASCE 7. ASCE 7 must be obtained and used in conjunction with this manual. Seismic loads are covered in TM 5-809-101AFM 88-3, Chap. 13.

1-7. Metal building systems

These are buildings which are supplied as a complete building unit. They are to be the product of one metal building supplier. As discussed below, Metal Building Systems may be either Standard Metal Building Systems or Special Purpose Metal Building Systems. a. Stattdard Metal Building Systems. Standard Metal Building Systems are Metal Building Systems that are designed in accordance with "Low Rise Building Systems Manual" by the Metal Building Manufacturers Association (MBMA). These buildings typically have an cave height equal to or less than 20 feet, or have rigid frame spans less than or equal to 80 fect. However, as discussed below, Metal Building Systems may be considered Special P u r p o s e M e t a l Building Systems due to factors other than size. Typical examples of S t a n d a r d M e t a l Building Systems include warehouses, pump houses, and servicing facilities. Load combinations and procedures for developing the design loads for Standard Mclal Building Systems will follow the criteria in the MBMA publication "Low Rise Metal Building Systcms Manual". The following data will be used in developing design loads for Standard Metal Building Systems: (I) Dead loads, floor live loads, basic wind speeds, and ground snow loads will be in accordance with the

1-5. Classification of structures

The design load criteria in this manual is presented for three classes of structures as follows: a . Class A (Bridge-Type Structures). Class A structures are those to which standard specifications for bridge-type structures are applicable. Included are bridges, trestles, viaducts (railway, highway, and pedestrian), and their components (beams, girders, columns, tension members, trusses, floors, bearings), certain weight-handling equipment, and piers carrying moving loads, as delineated in specific design manuals for these types of structures. b. Class B (Building-Type Slruclures). Class B structures are those to which standard specifications for building-type structures are applicable. Typical examples of Class B structures are administration buildings, warehouses, and commissaries. c . Class C (Special Slruclures). Class C covers special structures not readily classified in either of

3-1. General
Except as modified herein, the criteria for dead loads will be as specified in ASCE 7. section of ASCE 7. Unit weights are given in table 3-1. Design dead loads for assembled elements of construction are given in table 3-2. The dead loadings for reinforced hollow masonry unit construction should be based on the weights given in TM 5-809-3lAFM 88-3, Chapter 3. In case of a conflict between the dead loads in this manual and ASCE 7, the higher value should be used unless the designer has information or guidance.

CHAPTER 4 LIVE LOADS

4-1. General
Except as modified herein, the criteria for live loads will be as specified in ASCE 7. c. Concentrated Live Loads. The following concentrated loads must be considered in addition to the dead loads: (I) Accessible, open-web steel joists supporting roofs over manufacturing, commercial storage and warehousing, and commercial garage floors will be designed to support the uniformly distributed live load prescribed in ASCE 7 in addition to a concentrated live load of 800 pounds. For all other occupancies, a load of 200 pounds will be used instead of 800 pounds. The concentrated live load will be placed at any singlc panel point on the bottom chord, and will be located so as to produce the maximum stress in the member. (2) As a clarification of the ASCE 7 requirements, accessible roof trusscs or othcr primary roof-supporting members will be dcsigncd to support the concentratcd livc load prescribed in ASCE 7 in addition to the dead load and the uniformly distributcd roof livc load. (3) Members such as floor decking, roof deckingand rafters will be designed to support the uniformly distributcd live loads prcscribcd in ASCE 7 or a concentrated live load of 200 pounds, whichcvcr produces the greater stress. The concentrated livc load will be assumed to be uniformly distributed over a 12- by U-inch square areaand will be located so as to produce the maximum stress in the member. (4) Boiler rooms will be designed to support the uniformly distributcd livc loads prescribed in ASCE 7 or a 3000 pound conccntrated livc load, whichever produccs the greater strcss. Thc concentrated live load will be applied over an area of 2.5 feet square (6.25 s q ft) (in arcas outside the limits of the boilers) and will be located so as to produce the maximum stress. d. Impact Loads on Escalalors. Escalator live loads will be increased by 15 percent for impact.

4-2. Supplementary design live loads

The following live load requirements will supplement the live load criteria in ASCE 7: a. Minimum Design Live Loads. Minimum uniformly distributed live loads are given in table 4-1. Uniform live loads for storage warehouses are given in table 4-2. In case of a conflict between the live loads in this manual and ASCE 7, the higher value should be used unless the designer has other information or guidance. b. ProvisionforParh'tions. In buildings where partitions are subject to rearrangement, the following equivalent load may be used as a suggested minimum load:
Partition Weight (pound per lineal f w t of partition) F%pivalent Uniform Load (pounds per square foot)

--

20 U s e actual concentrated linear load

Note that the above loads may be smaller than the actual loads for one-way joist systems where the partition runs parallel to the joist. When designing these floor systems, the designer must considcr the actual weight. of the partition directly over the joist. Some distribution of partition loadings to adjacent floor joists or beams may be appropriate when the floor construction is a concrete slab.

CHAPTER 7 OTHER LOADS

7-1. Earthquake loads
Criteria for dcveloping earthquake loads for buildings and other structures are presented in TM 5-809-10lAFM 88-3, Chap. 13, and TM 5-809-10-11AFM 88-3, Chap. 13, Sec. A. c. Piping. To accommodate changes in length due to thermal variations, pipes frequently are held at a single point. If the pipes are held at more than one point, thermal forces must be included in the design of support framing.

7-2. Foundation loads and earth pressures

Standards for determining foundation loads, earth pressures, and foundation displacement and settlement are contained in TM 5-818-11AFM 88-3, Chap. 7; NAVFAC DM-7.01 and NAVFAC DM-7.02.

7-5. Friction forces

a. Sliding Plalcs. Use 10 pcrccnt of the dead loa l reactions for clean bronze or copper-alloy slidiv: plates in new condition. Consult manufacturer frr special systems. b. Rockers or Rollers. Use 3 percent of the dea.' load reactions when employing unobstructed rockers c rollers. c. Foundations on Earill. Criteria for foundations on earth are contained in NAVFAC DM-7.01. d. Olher Bearings. Use the "Standard Handbook for Mechanical Engineers" for coefficients of friction. Base the forces on dead load reactions plus any applicable long-time live load reactions.

7-3. Fluid pressures and forces

Consider the following fluid pressures and forces in structural design: a. Hydrostatic Pressure. U s e t h e hydrostatic pressure criteria in NAVFAC DM-7.02. For structurcs loaded with buoyant forces, the following additional guidance will be used: Adhcsion resistance t o flotation should not be used unless the designcr knows that the buoyant forces will be short term and the adhesion will not be lost due to creep. b. Wave and Currenl Forces. Wave forcc criteria are described in MIL-HDBK-102511, MIL-HDBK-102514, NAVFAC DM-25.05, and MIL-HDBK-1025lG.

7-6. Shrinkage
Investigate arches, liuted-fied spans, indeterminatc and similar structures for strcsses induced by shrinkage and rib shortening.

7-4. Thermal forces

Provide for stresses or expansiodcontraction resulting from variations in temperature. On cable structures, consider changes in cable sag and tension. Determine the rises and falls in the temperature for the Iocalitics in which structures are built. Establish these rises and falls from assumed temperatures at times of erection. Consider the lags between air temperatures and interior temperatures of massive concrete members or structures. a. Temperature Ranges. Refer to the AASHTO design standard for the ranges of temperature for exterior, exposed elements. b. Thermal ExpansionIContraction in Building Systems. T h e design of framing within enclosed buildings seldom need consider the forces or expans i o n l c o n t r a c t i o n resulting from a variation in temperature of more than 30 degrees to 40 degrees. Thc effects of such forces or expansionlcontraction often are neglected in the design of buildings having plan dimensions of 250 feet or less, although movements of 114 to 318 inch can develop and may be important for buildings constructed with long bearing walls parallel to direction of movement.

7-7. Relaxation of initial forces

Cable structures, fabric structurcs, etc. are installed under initial tension which tends to slackenwith time. Thiscffcct should be considered by handling the resulting stresses or providing the means to readjust the tension.

7-8. Blast loading

See TM 5-1300lAFM 88-22 and TM 5-855-1.

7-9. Nuclear weapon effects

See TM 5-858 Series.

7-10. Sway load on spectator stands

Provide for a lateral load effcct equal to 24 pounds pcr linear foot of seating applied in a direction parallel to each row of seats and 10 pounds per linear foot of seating applied in a direction perpendicular to the row of seats. Apply these two components of sway load simultaneously. The sway load on spectator stands is

TM 5-809-1IAFM 88-3, Chap. 1

considered to be concurrent with a wind load generated by a wind velocity equal to one-half the velocity of the design wind load, but not more than 50 miles per hour.

7-11. Impact due to berthing

See MIL-HDBK-102511 for evaluation of lateral and longitudinal forces due to berthing.

7-12. Vibrations
Vibrations are induced in structures by reciprocating and rotating equipment, rapid application and subsequent rcmoval of a load, or by other means. Vibrations take place in flexural, extensional, or torsional modes, or any combination of the three.

a. Resonance. Resonance occurs when the frequency of an applied dynamic load coincides with a natural frequency of the supporting structure. In this condition, vibration deflections increase progressively to dangerous proportions. Prevent resonance by insuring in the design that thc natural frequency of a structure and the frequency of load application do not coincide. b. Foundafion Considerafions. For the reaction of different types of soils to vibratory loading and the determination of the natural frequency of the foundationsoil system see TM 5-818-1IAFM 88-3, Chap.7; NAVFAC DM-7.01 and NAVFAC DM-7.02. c. Collateral Reading. For further information on vibratory loading, see "Vibration Problems in Engineering a n d Dynamics of F r a m e d Structures" by Timoshenko, S.

ASCE 7 criteria on wind and snow loadings may he used only if the geometry is similar to that covered in the criteria. Refer to the National Building Code of Canada for further information on load criteria for geometrical shapes not covered in ASCE 7. Furthermore, wind-tunnel tests, as discussed in ASCE 7, may bc used in determining thc design wind or snow loadings on unusual gcomet! c shapes. As discussed earlier, the initial tension n tension fabric structures may slacken with time. TI,;, effect must be considered in dcsign.

8-2. Waterfront structures

Load criteria for piers, wharves, and waterfront structures are discussed in detail in MIL-HDBK-102511, MILHDBK-10,2514, NAVFAC DM-25.05, and MIL-HDBK102516.

8-3. Antenna supports and transmission line structures

Consider the following loads in the design of antenna supports and transmission line structures: a. Dead Load. b. Live Load on Stoinvays artd Walkways. c. Wind Load. d. Ice Load. Use figure 8-1 to determine the thickness of ice covering on guys, conductors insulation, and framing supports. Consult cognizant field agencies for determining the ice load in locations that may have severe icing conditions, such as coastal and waterfront areas that are subject to heavy sea spray or high local precipitation. or mountainous areas that are subject to in-cloud icing. e. Thermal Changes. Consider changes in guy or cable sag or both due to temperature changes. f. Pretension Forces. Consider pretension forces in guys and wires as per MIL-HDBK-100213. g. Brokzn Wires. Design support structures to resist the dynamic effects and unbalanced pull or torsion resulting from a b r o k e n guy. S u p p o r t structures should also be designed to survive broken transmission wires. h. Erection Loads. Temporary erection loads are important in the design of antenna supports and transmission line structures. See the Electronic Industries Association (EIA) publication EIA-222-D for further information on load criteria for steel antenna towers and antenna supporting structures. For further information on design loads on transmission lines, rcfer t o the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) publication "Guidelines for Transmission Line Structural Loading".

8-5. Turbine generator foundations

Consider the following loads in dcsign of turbine generator foundations. a. Verlical Loads. For component weights of the turbine generator and distribution of these weights, refer to the manufacturer's machine outline drawings. Increase machine loads 25 percent for impact for machines with spccds u p to and including 1,800 revolutions per minute (rpm) and 50 pcrccnt for those with higher speeds. Consider additional loads (such as auxiliary equipment, pipes, and valvcs) supported by the foundations. b. Steam CondenserLoad. Determine the condenser or vacuum load from the method of mounting the condenser. c. Torque Loads. Torque loads are produced by magnetic reactions of electric motors and generators which tend t o retard rotation. Use five times the normal torque in the design of the supporting mcmbers. For turbine generators, normal torquc may be computed by the following equation: Torque (ft lb)
=

7,040 (kw) I rpm

APPENDIX D FROST PENETRATION

D-1. Frost penetration
The depth to which frost penetrates at a site depends on the climate, the type of soil, the moisture in the soil and the surface cover (e.g., pavement kept clear of snow vs. snowcovered turf). If the supporting soil is warmed by heat from a building, frost penetration is reduced considerably. The values in appendices B and C represent the dcpth of frost penetration to be expected if the ground is bare of vegetation and snow cover, the soil is non-frost susceptible (NFS), well-drained (i.e., dry) sand or gravel, and no building heat is available. Thus, these values represent the deepest (i.e., worst case) frost penetration expected in each area. Most building foundations can be at a shallower depth without suffering frost action. (However, other considerations besides frost penetration may affect foundation depth, such as erosion potential or moisture desiccation). For interior footings, which under service conditions are not normally susceptible to frost, the potential effects of frost heave during construction should be considered. Design values for heated and unheated buildings may be obtained by reducing the values in appendices B and C according to figure D-1. For buildings heated only infrequently, the curve in figure D-1 for unheated buildings should be used. The curves

Figure D-1. Desigrl deplh of building folrndation.

TM 5-809-1IAFM 88-3, Chap. 1

in figure D-l were established with an appreciation for the variability of soil and the understanding that some portions of the building may abut snow-covered turf while other portions abut paved areas kept clear of snow.

D-3. Additional information

Additional information on which more refined estimates of frost penetration can be made, based on site-specific climaticinformation, the typeof ground cover and soil conditions is contained in TM 5-852-6.

D-2. Example
What minimum depth is needed for footings of a hospital and an unheated vehicle storage building to be built in Bangor, Maine, to protect them from frost action? Solution: The tabulated frost penetration value for Bangor, Maine, is 98 inches (appendix B). Using the "heated" curve in figure D-I, footings for the hospital should be located 4 feet below the surface to protect them from frost action. Using the "unheated curve, footings for the unheated garage should be located 6 feet below the surface.

D-4. Frost protection

Foundations should be placed at or below the depths calculated above. The foundation may be placed at a shallower depth than calculated above if protected from frost action by insulation on the cold side. For more information on foundation insulation, see "Building Foundation Design Handbook" by O a k Ridge National Laboratory.
