These loads shall be taken as the minimum, live loads of horizontal projection to be used in the design of buildings for the occupancies listed, and loads at least ‘equal shall be assumed for uses not listed in this section but that creates or accommodates similar loadings. Where it can be determined in designing Moors that the actual live load will be greater than the value shown in Table 205-1, the actual live load shall be used in the desixn of such buildings or portions thercof. Special provisions shall be made for machine and apparatus loads. 2053.2 Distribution of Uniform Floor Loads Where uniform floor loads are involved, consideration may. be limited to full dead load on all spans in combination with full live load on adjacent spans and alternate spans, CHAPTER 2- Minimum Design Loads 2-15 2053.3 Concentrated Loads Floors shall be designed to support safely the uniformly distributed live loads preseribed in this section or the concentrated load given in Table 205-1 whichever produces the greatest load effects. Unless otherwise specified the indicated concentration shall be assumed to be uniformly distributed over an area 750-mm square and shall he located so as to produce the maximum load effets in the structural member. Provision shall be made in areas where vehicles are used or stored for concentrated loads, L, consisting of two or more loads spaced 1.5m nominally on center without uniform live loads, Each load shall be 40 percent ofthe gross weight ofthe maximum size vehicle to be accommodated. Parking garages for the stor or pleasure-type motor vehicles with no repa ling shall have a Noor system designed for a concentrated load of not less than SKN acting on an area of 015 m? without uniform live loads. The condition of concentrated oF uniform live load, combined in accordance with Section 203.3 or 203.4 as appropriate, producing the greatest stresses shall govern 2» 34 Sp Loads, Provision shall he made for the special vertical and lateral loads as set forth in Table 20% ‘National Structural Code of the Philippines Volume J, 7th Edition, 2015 ‘Scanned wih CamScanner216 CHAPTER 2 ~ Minimum Design Loads Table 205-1 Minimum Uniform and Concentrated Live Loads [ or Occupancy” 7 trated Use or Occupancy _ Uniform Lond ‘Concentrated Load — _ _ kPa kN Office use 24 9.0? 1.
