Nominal Loads
• Roof live load: 0.95 kPa
• Trusses dead load: 1.5 kPa
• 5th floor: storage load is given in the design criteria as 6 kPa
• Typical office floor: 2.4kPa for office space and 0.7 kPa for moveable partitions. Use the
unreduced value for the partitions

Beams and columns: Reinforced Concrete

Slab thickness: 10cm

Required:
1) Dead Load:
Determine concentrated Dead Load of Column A and Column B at the 3rd floor.
Include self-weight.

2) Live Load
Determine the reduced live loads for column A and column B at the ground floor. Assume that
the storage occupancy is on the 5th floor and all other floors are typical office floors. Refer to
NSCP for Column Factors.

3) Wind Load
Determine the maximum positive and maximum negative design wind load of the Roof.
