Structural Elements Review
1. INTRODUCTION
Mr. Bill Wilson sought the assistance to conduct a Design review for the Transportation facility
of North Kitsap District. This report is to elaborate the findings of review and to provide
recommendations. Design was reviewed according to euro code standards. Necessary
material details and design loads were extracted from the provided structural drawings. Design
was reviewed for the base bid.
3.0 PRELIMINARIES
Loads were extracted from the given structural drawings and summary of loads are
mentioned in Table .
Wind Loads
Wind speed was considered as 80 mph with the exposure class B(These are wind speeds
that are expected to occur once in 50 years.. For Eurocode this can be converted to 22 m/s
(10 min wind speed) and the Global Structure was analyzed for the above wind speed.
Basic values
Loading Combinations
Total Dead Load (DL) was calculated from the sum of self-weight of element and
corresponding superimposed loads. Live load (LL) was calculated with corresponding live load
value. Ultimate Loading Combination According to Australian code was taken as follows.
Section W8x24
Loading Area for Section W8x24 located in Grids M , N , O. (Consider the Maximum Loads)
A = 53.4 m2
Structural Elements Review
Lets take typical roof dead load as 15 pounds per square foot.
