DEAD LOADS, SOIL LOADS, AND HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
3.1 DEAD LOADS.
3.1.1 Definition. Dead loads consist of the weight of all ma-
tetils of construction incorporated into the building including,
bat not limited to, walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, stairways, built.
in partitions, finishes, cladding, and other similarly incorporated
architectural and structural items, and fixed service equipment
including the weight of cranes.
3.1.2 Weights of Materials and Constructions. In determining
dead loads for purposes of design, the actual weights of mater
als and constructions shall be used provided that in the absence
of definite information, values approved by the authority having
Jurisdiction shal be used,
3.1.3 Weight of Fixed Service Equipment, In determining dead
loads for purposes of design, the weight of fixed service equip-
‘ment, such as plumbing stacks and risers, electrical feeders,
and heating, ventilating, and air conditioning systems shall be
included,
3.2. SOIL LOADS AND HYDROSTATIC PRESSURE
32.1 Lateral Pressures. Inthe design of structures below grade,
Provision shall be made forthe lateral pressure of adjacent soil. If
Sol loads are not given in a soil investigation report approved by
the authority having jurisdiction, then the soil loads specified in
‘Table 3-1 shall be used as the minimum design lateral loads, Due
allowance shall be made for possible surcharge from fixed or mov-
ing loads. When a portion or the whole of the adjacent soil is below
a free-water surface, computations shall be based upon the weight
6f the soil diminished by buoyancy, plus full hydrostatic pressure.
‘The lateral pressure shall be increased if soils with expansion
‘potential are present atthe site as determined by a geotechnical
investigation
3.2.2 Uplift on Floors and Foundations. In the design of base-
‘ment floors and similar approximately horizontal elements below
grade, the upward pressure of water, where applicable, shall be
taken as the full hydrostatic pressure applied over the entire area,
The hydrostatic load shall be measured from the underside of the
construction. Any other upward loads shall be ineluded in the
design,
Where expansive soils are present under foundations or slabs-
‘on-ground, the foundations, slabs, and other components shall
be designed to tolerate the movement or resist the upward loads
caused by the expansive sols, or the expansive soil shall be re-
‘ioved oF stabilized around and beneath the structure.

4.10 CRANE LOADS
‘The crane live load shall be the rated capacity ofthe crane, De-
sign loads for the runway beams, including connections and sup-
[port brackets, of moving bridge cranes and monorail cranes shall
include the maximum whee! loads of the crane and the vertical im-
Pct, lateral, and longitudinal forces induced by the moving crane.
4.10.1 Maximum Wheel Load. The maximum wheel loads
shall be the wheel loads produced by the weight of the bridge,
‘sapplicable, plus the sum of the rated capacity and the weight of
the trolley withthe trolley positioned on its runway at the location
‘where the resulting load effect is maximum,
4.10.2 Vertical Impact Force. The maximum wheel loads ofthe
‘rane shall be increased by the percentages shown in he following
{ext to determine the induced vertical impact or vibration force:
“Monorail cranes (powered) 25
Cab-operated or remotely operated bridge cranes 25
(powered)
Pendant-operated bridge cranes (powered) 0
Bridge cranes or monorail cranes with hand-geared
bridge, trolley, and hoist
Minimum Design Losds for Buildings and Other Structures
4.10.3 Lateral Force. The lateral force on crane runway beams
‘with electrically powered trolleys shall be calculated as 20 percent
of the sum of the rated capacity of the crane and the weight ofthe
hoist and trolley. The lateral force shall be assumed o at horizon.
tally atthe traction surface of a runway beam, in either direction,
perpendicular to the beam, and shall be distributed with due re-
gard to the lateral stiffness ofthe runway beam and supporting
structure,
4.10.4 Longitudinal Force. The longitudinal force on crane run-
way beams, except for bridge cranes with hand-geared bridges,
shall be calculated as 10 percent of the maximum wheel loads of
the crane. The longitudinal force shall be assumed to act horizon-
tally atthe traction surface of a runway beam in either direction,
