D= Dead Loads, L= Normal Live Loads, Lr= Roof Live Loads, E= Earthquake Loads, W=
Wind Loads

 The following load combination shall also be considered for structural

design
 Vertical earthquake load shall be considered in the design
o YouTube Lecture: Vertical Earthquake Load by Prof. Dr. Engr. Md.
Jahangir Alam
o 100% earthquake loading in one direction shall be considered
combined with 30% earthquake force of orthogonal direction simultaneously for
seismic design category D, Seismic category C with plan irregularity V (Non-parallel
systems of shear wall)
o “±100% in x-direction ±30% in y-direction” or                                
o “±30% in x-direction ±100% in y-direction”
 Vertical deflection due to gravity
o D+L
 Creep, settlement and long term effect
o D+0.5L
 Lateral deflection of buildings due to wind load
o D+0.5L+0.7W
