TD1 – Load on building

Objective:
To know about design code: Eurocode
How to select load based on Eurocode
How to calculate load: surface load, line load, …
How to calculate wind load

Reference document:
Eurocode 0 Eurocodes structuraux Bases de calcul des structures
Eurocode 1 Actions sur les structures, Partie 1-1 : Actions générales — Poids volumiques,
poids propres, charges d'exploitation des bâtiments
Eurocode 1: Actions on structures - Part 1-4: General actions -Wind actions

1) What is dead load? What is live load? Specify reference in Eurocode for dead load and live load.
What is the value of live load for
Class room?
Hotel ?
Cinema?
Stadium?

2) Calculate gravity load and wind load for the following building:

Assumption:
Hollow brick density : 10cm thk = 18.5 kN/m3;
20cm thk = 16 kN/m3;
Floor height = 3.3 m x 25 floors ;
Concrete floor : 25 cm thk x 25 kN/m3;
Floor finishing 50 mm thk x 22 kN/m3;
Ceiling + MEP 0.5 kN/m2;
Basic wind speed 26 m/s; terrain catégorie IV, 𝑐 𝑐 = 1.0

2.1 ) Calculate load in kN/m2 for selfweight of floor.

2.2 ) Calculate load in kN/m for perimeter wall 20cm thk.
2.3 ) Calculate load in kN/m2 for floor finishing + ceiling + MEP
2.4 ) Estimate load in kN/m2 for interior wall
2.5 ) Indicate the value of live load to be used.
2.6 ) Calculate load due to wind action for each floor.

3) Describe load combination in Eurocode? What are load factors for each load combination?
