Structural Dead Load Analysis

This document describes the analysis, design criteria, and procedures applying the
National Structural Code of the Philippines 7th Edition.

A. STANDARD DEAD WEIGHT OF MATERIALS

-suspended metal lath
Weight of Ceiling, WC = 0.480 KPa and gypsum plaster
-ceramic or quarry tile
Weight of Floor Finish, W FF = 0.770 KPa (20 mm) on 13 mm

Service/Miscellaneous Loads, W SL = 0.100 KPa -additional load

-16.5 kN/m³ - 100 mm
Weight of Concrete Masonry Units W MU = 2.980 KPa thick CHB with full grout
Unit Weight of Concrete, γC = 23.54 KN/m3

B. DIMESIONS
Longitudinal Span = 5 spans
L1 = 5.000 m
L2 = 5.000 m
L3 = 3.000 m
L4 = 5.000 m
L5 = 5.000 m

Transverse Span = 3 spans

L1 = 2.000 m
L2 = 3.750 m
L3 = 3.750 m

Storey Height
3rd Storey
1st Storey Height = 3.000 m
2nd Storey Height = 3.000 m
1st Storey Height = 3.500 m
Total Storey Height = 9.500 m

Column Size (1st to 3rd level) = 0.300 m x 0.300 m

Beam Size (1st to 3rd level) = 0.200 m x 0.400 m
Roof Deck, 2nd & 3rd Floor Slab Thickness = 0.100 m

C. FORMULA
Weight of Ceiling
W C = (Bay Length) (WC)
Weight of Floor Finish
W FF = (Bay Length) (WFF)
Weight of Service/Miscellaneous
W SL = (Bay Length) (WSL)
Weight of Slab
W S = (Bay Length)(Thickness of Slab) (γ C)
Weight of Partition
W P = (Height of Partition) (WCMU)
Weight of the Beam
W B= (Cross-Sectional Area of Beam) (γC)
Weight of Column
W Col = (Area of Column)(Height of Column) (γC)
