LOAD CALCULATION
Actual loads from partion loads

HCB wall thickness used in the x-direction= 15 cm

HCB wall thickness used in the y-direction= 15 cm
Room height= 2.88 m
partition wall length in the x-direction= 0.3 m
partition wall length in the y-direction= 3.30 m
wp1= loads parallel to Lx/Lx 0.75 KN/m
wp2= loads parallel to Ly/Ly 6.67 KN/m

Modified line loads

wpx1= wp2*wx= 4.6724 wpy1= wp1*wy= 0.223653
wpx2= wp1*wx= 0.5219 wpy2= wp2*wy= 2.002471

Equivalent width(ex) & equivalent length(ey) of slab

slab thickness(g)= 15 cm
e x= g+0.6*Lx= 2.55 m g=t+2*D= 0.45
e y= g+0.6*Ly= 3.03 m g=t+2*D= 0.45

SUPPORT CONDITION COEFFICIENTS NOTE:

Cx= 1.7 C= 2 for simply supprted slab
Cy= 1.7 = 1.7 for simply supprted slab at one end & cont. at the other end
= 1.5 for continuous over both supports

Equivalent loads
Equivalent loads on Lx wex1= =Cx*wpx1/Lx= 2.27 KN/m^2
wex2= =wpx2/ex= 0.20 KN/m^2
wex= wex1+wex2= 2.47 KN/m^2
Equivalent loads on Ly = wey1= =Cy*wpy1/Ly= 0.09 KN/m^2
wey2= =wpy2/ey= 0.66 KN/m^2
wey= wey1+wey2= 0.75 KN/m^2

Effective equivalent load(qR)

qR= maximumof wex & wey= 2.47 KN/m^2
