1.3: LOADS EVALUATION ON THE BUILDING

1.4: GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS

- The evaluation of loads is done using the computer aided design program (ROBOT
STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS) Version 2011
- Basic calculation hypothesis used are given above
- The charpente of the different blocks are assimilated to a decking to which we have applied a
surface load of charpente in wood, knockings and covering included
- The separation walls are plastered on both sides with cement mortar
- The dockings are desolidified to the chaining beams thus it does not contribute to the stability
of the structure
- The elevation walls are plastered with cement mortar
