Design Criteria
DESIGN CRITERIA:
1. Loads:
a. Dead load
Partitions = 1.0 KPa
Utilities = 0.3 KPa
b. Live load
Dormitory = 2.0 KPa
Roof = 1.0 KPa
2. Materials
a. Concrete:
Compressive strength, fc’ = 21 MPa
Unit weight = 23.6 kN/m3
b. Reinforcement:
Tensile strength, fy = 275 MPa
2. Soil
Bearing Capacity = 150 KPa (assumed)
3. Seismic
V = ZICW/Rw
Minimum requirements as per UBC Code
Where V = Base Shear
Z = Zone Factor (0.4)
I = Importance factor (1.25)
C = 2.75 (max as per code)
Rw = Response modification factor (8)
