GENERAL (for all parts of Project)

Ignore wind load;
Assume Precast slab mass = 2.96kPa (on plan);
Assume brick wall mass = 19kN/m3;
Assume column length = 3.1m long (from U/S 1st floor deck to Top of Base);
All steel Grade S355JR (hot dipped galvanised);
All timber SAP;
All T & G planks are 96 x 22mm thick (already PAR);
Live load on main 1st floor and bridge (dwelling house) = 1.5kPa;
Live load on balconies and entertainment deck (accessible to residential occupancy) = 4 kPa;
Make reasonable assumptions (with references, where information not given)
