LOAD CALCULATIONS

1. DEAD LOAD:
Self weight of deck sheet = 0.15kN/m2
Thickness of concrete = 0.160m
Unit weight of concrete = 25kN/m3
Dead load on deck slab (160mm) = 0.16*25
= 4kN/m2
Dead load for finishes = 9kN/m2
Total Dead Load = 13.0KN/m2
Decking Span of the SHS Beam = (0.765/2)+(0.315/2)
= 0.54m
= 0.6m [Maximum]
Total Dead Load acting on the SHS beam = 13*0.6
= 7.8KN/m [UDL]

2. LIVE LOAD:
Imposed Load = 5.0Kn/m2
Load Acting on SHS beam = 5*0.6
= 3.0KN/m

3. CONSTRUCTION LOAD:
Construction Load = 2.4kN/m2

Load Acting on SHS beam = 2*0.6

= 1.44KN/m
