CHAPTER 3
ACTIONS AND LOAD
DISTRIBUTION
By :
Actions / Load
• Actions / loads are a primary consideration in any building design.
• It can be define as an external forces that a building must resist to provide
reasonable performance (i.e., safety and serviceability) throughout the
structure’s design working life.
• The anticipated loads are influenced by a building’s intended use
(occupancy and function), configuration (size and shape), and location
(climate and site conditions).
• Ultimately, the type and magnitude of design loads affect critical decisions
such as material selection, construction details, and architectural
configuration.
• Thus, to optimize the value (i.e., performance versus economy) of the
finished product, it is essential to estimate the design loads realistically.
Loading estimation
Elements Type of actions Unit
Slab Permanent action:
(i) Selfweight of slab, (ii) Finishes and services, and
(iii) Ceiling kN/m2
Variable action (depend on function of floor)
Beam Permanent action:
(i) Distribution from slab / roof, (ii) Selfweight of beam, and
(iii) Brickwall kN/m
Variable action:

Variable action: kN
(i) Distribution from column
Loading estimation
Permanent action of slab
• Selfweight of slab = Slab thickness,h x unit weight of RC (25 kN/m3)
• In common practices, minimum slab thickness = 100 mm and maximum slab span (short /
long span) = 36h.
• Finishes – Depending on floor finishes assigned by architect => refer to manufacture catalogue.
(For Example)
• Ceramic tile => [(31.68 kg x 9.81)/1000] / 1.44 m2 = 0.22 kN/m2
• 30 mm thk. cement render => [(1900 kg/m3 x (9.81/1000) x 0.030] = 0.56 kN/m2
• Total finishing load = 0.22 + 0.56 = 0.78 kN/m2
• Ceiling weight normally range = 0.3 – 0.5 kN/m2 (Depend on ceiling type)
• Services = 0.1 – 0.3 kN/m2
Loading estimation
Variable action of slab
• Characteristic variable action, Qk acting on slab is caused by people, furniture, equipment etc,
which the variation in magnitude time dependent is considered.
• Examples of variable action as given in EC1 are shown in the table:

Loading distribution
Loading distribution (Floor)
Actions that applied on a beam may consist of beams self- weight,
permanent and variable actions from slabs, actions from secondary beams
and other structural or non-structural members supported by the beam.
The distribution of slab actions on beams depends on the slab dimension,
supporting system and boundary condition.
It is important to determine the type of slab using the following criteria:
Loading distribution (Floor)

• There are alternatives methods which consider various support
conditions and slab continuity. The methods are (i). Slab shear
coefficient from Table 3.15 BS 8110, (ii). Yield line analysis and

Example 3.1 (Loading distribution)
Determine the characteristic permanent and variable actions on
beam FB1 as shown in the figure. A brickwall of 4 m height is
sitting on the beam. Unit weight of concrete = 25 kN/m3; finishes
= 1.0 kN/m 2 ; brickwall = 2.6 KN/m 2 ; variable action = 4.0
kN/m2.
Solution of Example 3.1 [Link]
Action on slab, Slab load distribution, = 0.5 x n x Lx (one way slab)
Permanent action (Gk): Total Perm. Action, Gk = 3.75 + 1.0 = 4.75 kN/m2
(i) self‐weight = 0.15 x 25 = 3.75 kN/m2 Distr. to beam FB1 = 0.5 x 4.75 kN/m2 x 6 m = 14.25 kN/m
(ii) Finishes = 1.0 kN/m2 Total Var. action, Qk = 4.0 kN/m2
Variable action (Qk): (i) 4.0 kN/m2 Distr. to beam FB1 = 0.5 x 4.00 kN/m2 x 6 m = 12.00 kN/m
Action on Beam FB1,
Permanent action (Gk):
(i) self‐weight = 0.25 m x 0.7 m x 25 kN/m3 = 4.38 kN/m
(ii) Brickwall = 2.6 kN/m2 x 4 m = 10.4 kN/m

beam B/1-3. Given the following data: Unit weight of concrete =
25 kN/m3; Finishes, ceiling and services = 2.0 kN/m2; Variable
action (all slabs) = 3.0 kN/m2.

Loading distribution (Roof)
• Typical Malaysian building roof type,
• Load transfer mechanism of flat roof is similarly as slab load distribution.
• For hip and gable roof (pitch roof), the roof load will transfer to the beam
via roof truss system.
Loading distribution (Roof)
Roof truss system
• Permanent action, Gk
• Roof tile / metal deck
• Insulation (if applicable)
• Selfweight of truss
• Batten / purlin
• Ceiling
• Services
• Variable action, Qk
(For maintenance purposes)
• Flat roof - 0.75 – 1.25 kN/m2
• Slope roof – Refer Table NA7
30o = 0.25 kN/m2
30o 60o = 0.25[(60 - )/30]
60o = 0
The weight of roofing material can be refer to manufacture catalogue depend on architectural design.
Loading distribution (Roof)
• Type of roof truss system Lx
Cold‐formed steel truss system => Span < 13 m
Ly
Design by fabricator – roof load can be
distribute to the four side of roof beam by
using simplified approach.
Load in x‐x direction = 0.5 x n x Lx
Load in y‐y direction = 0.5 x n x Ly
Loading distribution (Roof)
Hot rolled steel truss system => Span > 13 m
Design by engineer – roof load can be
distribute to the roof beam via truss support
reaction at the respective side.
Loading distribution (Axial load)
• The beam will distribute load into column in the form of axial load
(kN) via summation of support reaction at particular beam column
joint.
Axial load in Column A
= R1 + R3 + Column s/weight
Permanent & Variable actions
Structural Analysis
• The primary purpose of structural analysis is to establish the distribution of
internal forces and moments over the whole part of a structure and to
identify the critical design conditions at all sections.
• In practice there are many different loads will act together and this has to
be considered in the structure design.
• Various combinations of the characteristic loads such as Gk , Qk and Wk ;
and their partial factors of safety must be considered for the loading of the
structure.
• The RC beam must be designed to resist the ultimate bending moments
and shear forces. In some cases, the beam is also required to resist
torsional moments and axial forces.
• The beam is required to achieve serviceability requirements such as
deflection and cracking.
Loading arrangement (Load combination)
Clause 5.1.3 : MS EN 1992-1-1
In considering the combinations of actions, the relevant cases shall be
considered to enable the critical design conditions to be established at all
sections, within the structure or part of the structure considered.
For simply supported beam, the analysis for bending and shear force
can be carried out using statically determinate approach. For the ultimate
limit state we need only consider the maximum load of 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk on
the span.
Loading arrangement (Load combination)
Section 5.1.3 : MS EN 1992-1-1
• For continuous beam, the following simplified load arrangements (based on National
Annex) are recommended:
• Load set 1: Alternate or adjacent spans loaded
• Load set 2: All or alternate spans loaded
Load set 1: Alternate or adjacent spans loaded (Continuous Beam)
Alternate span carrying the design permanent and variable load (1.35Gk + 1.5Qk), other
spans carrying only the design permanent loads (1.35Gk)
Any two adjacent spans carrying the design permanent and variable loads (1.35Gk +
1.5Qk), all other spans carrying only the design permanent load (1.35Gk)

The shear force and bending moment diagrams can be drawn for
each of the load cases required in the patterns of loading.
A composite diagram comprising a profile indicating the maximum
values including all possible load cases can be drawn; this is known
as an envelope.
In this subject, the load set 2 will be further considered in structural
analysis.

Method of structural analysis
Three analysis methods may be used in order to obtain shear force and
bending moment for design purposes. There are;
Elastic analysis using moment distribution method (Modified Stiffness
Method)
Simplified method using shear and moment coefficient from Table 3.5:
BS 8110: Part 1.
Using commercial analysis software such as Staad Pro, Esteem, Orion,
Tekla and etc.
Moment distribution method
Moment distribution method is only involving distribution moments to joint
repetitively.
The accuracy of moment distribution method is dependent to the number
repeat which does and usually more than 5 repeat real enough. Right
value will be acquired when no more moments that need distributed.
In general the value is dependent to several factor as :
• Fixed end moment, FEM
• Carry over factor, COF
• Member Stiffness Factor (distribution factor), K
Moment distribution method
Fixed end moment (FEM)
The moment at the fixed joints of a loaded member are called fixed-end
moment.
This moment can be determined from table below, depending upon the
type of loading on the member.
Moment distribution method
Carry over factor (COF)
The carry-over factor to a fixed end is
always 0.5, otherwise it is 0.0.
Moment distribution method
Example 3.3
A series of 250 x 450 mm reinforced concrete beams spaced at 3 m centres and
spanning 7.5 m support a 175 mm thick reinforced concrete slab as shown in Figure 2.1.
If the variable floor action is 3 kN/m2 and the load induced by the weight of concrete is 25
kN/m3, calculate the maximum shear force and bending moment of beam B/1-2.
Solution of Example 3.3
Slab
Permanent action, Gk from 175 mm slab : 25 x 0.175 = 4.38 kN/m2
Variable action, Qk : 3.0 kN/m2
Total ultimate load : 1.35 (4.38) + 1.5(3.0) = 10.41 kN/m2
Beam
Ultimate load from slab : 10.41 x 3 = 31.23 kN/m
Beam self‐weight, Gk : 25 x 0.4 x 0.25 = 2.5 kN/m
Ultimate load for beam : 1.35 x 2.5 = 3.38 kN/m
Total ultimate load, w : 31.23 + 3.38 = 34.61 kN/m
Maximum shear force = wL/2 = 34.61 x 7.5/2 = 129.79 kN
Maximum bending moment = wL2/8 = 34.61 x 7.52/8 = 243.35 kNm

Simplified Method
The analysis using moment distribution method is time consuming and is more
conveniently carried out using standard computer technique.
Therefore, as a simplification BS 8110 cl. 3.4.3 can be use. Table 3.5 are given in BS
8110 which enable a conservative estimate of shear force and bending moment values
to be determined for the design of continuous beam.
There are conditions which must be satisfied in each case before these tables can be
used. They are:
• The beams should be approximately equal span.
• The characteristic variable action Qk may not exceed the characteristic permanent action Gk.
• Load should be substantially uniformly distributed over three or more spans.
• Variation in span length should not exceed 15% of the longest span.

Moment Redistribution
Plastic behavior of RC at the ULS affects the distribution of moment in structure.
To allow for this, the moment derived from an elastic analysis may be
redistributed based on the assumption that plastic hinges have formed at the
sections with the largest moment.
From design point of view, some of elastic moment at support can be reduced,
but this will increasing others to maintain the static equilibrium of the structure.
The purpose or moment redistribution is to reduced the bending moment at
congested zone especially at beam-column connection of continuous beam
support. Therefore, the amount of reinforcement at congested zone also can be
reduced then it will result the design and detailing process become much easier.
Moment Redistribution
Moment Redistribution
EC2: Section 5.5 permit the moment redistribution with the following
requirement;
The resulting distribution remains in equilibrium with the load.
The continuous beam are predominantly subject to flexural.
The ratio of adjacent span should be in the range of 0.5 to 2
There are other restrictions on the amount of moment redistribution in
order to ensure ductility of the beam such as grade of reinforcing steel
and area of tensile reinforcement and hence the depth of neutral axis.
Class A reinforcement; redistribution should ≤ 20%
Class B and C reinforcement; redistribution should ≤ 30%
Example 3.6
Based on results obtained from Example 3.5, redistribute 20% of moment at
support.
Solution:
Original moment at support B & D = 231.21 kNm
Reduced moment (20%) = 0.8 x 231.21 = 184.97 kNm
Original moment at support C = 154.14 kNm
Reduced moment (20%) = 0.8 x 154.14 = 123.31 kNm
