STANDARDS

5.1 The analysis and design shall be carried out in accordance with the codes of practice of
Bureau of Indian Standards and sound engineering practice. (Refer Table-2)

DESIGN LOADING

6.1 DEAD LOADS (DL)

Dead loads shall be generally determined in accordance with IS875 (Part I).Dead load will be
calculated using STAAD with appropriate density of material.

6.1.1 The self-weight of the various elements are computed based on the unit weight of
materials as given below:-
(TABLE 1)
Materials Unit weight kN / m3 Reference

 6.2 IMPOSED LOADS

Imposed loads shall be in general as per IS 875 (Part 2). Following imposed loads shall be
considered:

6.2.1 Loads on Roof:

Slope of roof = 10º

As the slope of roof is greater than 10º, reduce the live load by 0.02 KN/m2 for every increase
inslope over 10º. (Refer IS 875 part 2- table 2 , clause 4.1, pg. 14)

Roof (inaccessible) := 0.75 kN/m2

6.3 WIND LOADS

The wind pressure shall be calculated based on the data furnished below and other provisions laid
in IS: 875 [Part 3] – 2015
1. Basic wind speed = Vb = 44 m/sec (Refer IS 875-2015 part 3, clause 5.2, pg-53)
2. Risk co-efficient = K1 = 1.0 (Probable mean design life: 50 years)
(Refer IS 875-2015 part 3, Cl.5.3.1, Table 1, pg-11)
3. Terrain height and structure size factor = K2 =0.91
(Refer IS 875-2015 part 3, clause 5.3.2.2 Table 2 pg-12)
Terrain category -2 (Refer IS 875-2015 part 3 1987, clause 5.3.2.1, pg-8)
Structure class = Class B as structures and / or their components such as cladding,
glazing, roofing, etc. Having maximum dimension [greatest horizontal or ver cal
dimension] between than 20 m-50m]

4. Topography factor = K3 = 1.0 (Refer IS 875-2015 part 3, Cl. 5.3.3.1, pg-12)

5. Kd = wind directionality factor= 1 (Refer IS 875-2015 part 3, Cl. 5.3.3.1, pg-9)

6. Ka = area averaging factor=0.9 (Refer IS 875-2015 part 3, Cl. 5.3.3.1, pg-12)

7. Kc = combination factor=0.9 (Refer IS 875-2015 part 3, Cl. 5.3.3.1, pg-12)

8. Importance factor for the cyclonic region = K4 =1.0
