Load Takedown Calculations

First up we have to take into account the roof loads

1) ROOF
a) Dead Load

Provide Dimensions of tributary area Roof Pitch = 30

Length 1 = 5.625 m Length 2 = 0.75 m

or Just Area straight away

Area = 4.21875 sqm (This is length x width)

Provide the dead load factor for the type of roof and state the code

Factor = 1 kN/m2 Code of practice and location =

Thus the dead load component due to the roof is = 1 X

= 4.871393 kN

b) Live Load
All the same data input as above applies in this section so

Provide the live load factor for the type of roof and state the code

Factor = 2 Kn/m2 Code of practice and location =

Thus the live load component due to the roof is = 2 X

= 9.742786 kN

Next up we have to take into account the slab loads

2) Slab
a) Dead Load

Provide Dimensions of tributary area Slab Thickness = 0.25

Length 1 = 5.625 m Length 2 = 0.75 m

or Just Area straight away

Area = 4.21875 sqm (This is length x width)

Provide the unit weight of concrete in this component

 Gamma = 24 kN/m3 Code of practice and location =

Thus the dead load component due to the roof is = 24 X

= 30.375 kN

b) Live Load
All the same data input as above applies in this section so

Provide the live load factor for the type of floor area usage and state the code

Factor = 5 Kn/m2 Code of practice and location =

Thus the live load component due to the roof is = 5 X

= 21.09375 kN

c) Load Bearing Walls on slabs

Provide the Length and height of these walls Unit Weight of the Bricks
Width of wall , Default 230 m
Length = 0 metres (provide the length to the next support in metres)
Height = 0 metres (provide the length to the next support in metres)

Load distributed to the floors

= 0 X 0 X 0.23
= 0 kN

Next up we have to take into account the beam loads

3) Beams
a) Dead Load

Provide Dimensions of tributary area Beam Depth 0.1

LENGTH = 5.625 metres (provide the length to the next support in metres)
WIDTH = 0.75 metres (provide the length to the next support in metres)

or Just total length straight away

= 6.375 metres

Provide the unit weight of concrete in this component

Gamma = 24 kN/m3 Code of practice and location =

 Thus the dead load component due to the roof is = 24 X

= 4.59 kN

b) Load Bearing Walls on beams

Provide the Length and height of these walls Unit Weight of the Bricks
Width of wall , Default 230 m
Length = 0 metres (provide the length to the next support in metres)
Height = 3 metres (provide the length to the next support in metres)

Load distributed to the floors

= 3 X 0 X 0.23
= 0 kN

Next up we have to take into account the column loads

4) Columns Type Rectangle

a) Dead Load

Provide Dimensions of tributary area Section Depth = 0.5

or provide section diameter

Height of the column is =

Unequal individual Columns = 3
or Thus average or just the Equal Height = 3 metres

Provide the unit weight of concrete in this component = 24 kN/m3

Thus the total Load is = 24 X 3 X 0.1150

= 8.28 kN

Next up we have to take into account the stub of the column just before the base
5) Stub Column Type Rectangle
a) Dead Load

Provide Dimensions of tributary area Section Depth = 0.5

or provide section diameter

Height of the column is = 1.5 metres

Provide the unit weight of concrete in this component = 24 kN/m3

Thus the total Load is = 24 X 1.5 X 0.1150
= 4.14 kN
 Degrees Reduction factor = 1.155
(provide the length to the next support in metres)
(provide the length to the next support in metres)

Circle Rectangle

Section Width = 0.230 metres

de section diameter = 0.46 which gives 0.16619 sqm

Thus Area of Column Section is = 0.1150 sqm

Circle Rectangle

Section Width = 0.230 metres

de section diameter = 0.46 which gives 0.16619

Therefore
LOAD DEAD = 83.660 LIVE = 46.255

Now Soil Pressure

Maximum Allowable Bearing Pressure = 750 kPa or kN/m2 it’s the same

Thus required area under SLS = Force/Pressure

= 100.55 / 750
= 0.1341 square metres

thus assuming a square base each side is = 0.366156 X 0.36616

= 0.37 X 0.37
