Design loads

Load factor

The Fagioli tower system will be checked with the limit state design method according to
IS800:2007. The servicibility criteria will be used for checking the deflection capacity
and the strength criteria will be used to check the structural strength of the tower lift
system.
The load factor are as follows:

Servicibility criteria LFserv 1.00

Strength criteria LFst 1.50

Load on tie beam

Load from jack support beam will be transfered to the tie beam

Load from jack support beam Wsb 226.5 t

Self weight of tie beam Wtb 3.86 t
