    Design Loads

    Basic Load Combinations


    Load combinations are the equations used to calculate the collective effect of two or more
    loads when it is being applied simultaneously to a member. It is important to note that
    instances of the most critical effect of the loads may occur when one or more loads are inactive
    on the application.

    Load Case Load Combination


    1 1.4(D+F)
    2 1.2(D+F+T) + 1.6(L+H) + 0.5(LR
    or R)
    3 1.2(D) + 1.6(LR or R) + (f1L or
    0.5W)
    4 1.2(D) + W + f1L + 0.5(LR or R)
    5 1.2(D) + E + f1L
    6 0.9(D) + W + 1.6(H)
    7 0.9(D) + E + 1.6(H)

    Where:
    D = dead Load
    E = earthquake load
    F = load due to fluids with well-defined pressures and maximum heights
    H = load due to lateral pressure of soil and moisture content of soil
    L = live load, except roof live load, including any permitted live load reduction
    Lr = roof live load, including any permitted live load reduction
    R = rain load on the undeflected roof
    T = self-straining force and effects arising from contraction or expansion resulting from
    temperature changes, shrinkage, moisture changes, creep in materials, movement due to
    differential settlement, or combinations thereof.
    W = load due to wind pressure

    Dead Loads
    Dead loads consist of the weight of all materials of construction incorporated into the building
    or other structure, including but 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.
    Component Dead Load
    Lightweight Concrete , per mm 0.015 kPa
    Cement Finish (25mm) on-stone concrete fill 1.53 kPa
    Cement Tile 0.77 kPa
    Corrugated asbestos-cement roofing 0.19 kPa
    Mechanical Duct Allowance 0.20 kPa

    Live Loads
    Live loads are the forces being applied on the structure by means of the intended occupancies.
    These loads are usually being applied by people, equipments and any other movable objects
    having mass that are not fixed into the structure.

    Use/Occupancy Live Load


    Public Parking and Ramps 4.8 kPa
    Restrooms 2.4 kPa
    Driveways 12.0 kPa
    Elevators 38.4 kPa

    Seismic Design Parameters


    Earthquake loads are lateral forces acting on the sides of the structures, which simulates the
    actual effects of earthquake to the framing system of the structure. Mostly, the amounts of
    earthquake loads varies depending on how heavy the total weight of the structure is, and how
    tall it is overall.

    Seismic Importance Factor I = 1.0 (Standard Occupancy Structures)


    Seismic Zone Z = 0.40 (Zone 4)
    Seismic Source Type Type A
    Soil Type SE
    Distance to Nearest Fault Line 1.5 km
    Near-Source Factor, NA 1.5
    Near-Source Factor, Nv 2.0
    Seismic Response Coefficient, CA 0.66
    Seismic Response Coefficient, Cv 1.92
    Wind Load Design Parameters
    Wind loads are loads that are representations of the anticipated effect of winds on the sides of
    the structure. These wind loads are usually represented as lateral loads, much similar to
    earthquake loads.

    Basic Wind Speeds for Occupancy Category III, IV, V and other building structures
    National Structural Code of the Philippines 2015

    Basic Wind Speed V = 260 km/h


    Wind Directionality Factor KD = 0.85
    Exposure Category Exposure B
    Topographic Multiplier KZT = 1.0
    Enclosure Category Open Building
    Gust Effect Factor G = 0.85
    Internal Pressure Coefficient GCPI = 0
