LOAD CALCULATION

FOR SECOND FLOOR

FOR SLAB

Calculate each load for each slab member or make it as a group and calculate for

Maximum area.

Dead load

Self weight on slab = thickness x area x unit weight of concrete

Self weight of parapet wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Floor finishes = 0.5 KN/m2 x area of slab ( refer page 336 – ramamurtham)

Live load

Live load on slab = 3 KN / M2 x area of slab ( refer page 335 – ramamurtham)

Loads on slab = live load + dead load

Total loads on slab in second floor = number of slab x loads on the slab

BEAM

find critical beam and calculate load for that critical beam.

Dead load

Self weight of the beam = beam dimension x unit span x unit weight of concrete

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Load on beam = load on slab + dead load

Total load on beam = number of beam x load on beam

COLUMN

Find critical column and calculate load for that

Dead load

Self weight of column = column dimension x floor height x unit weight of conc.

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Load on column = dead load + (total load on beam )

Total Load on column = load on column x number of column

Total load on second floor = total load on slab + total load on beam + total load on
column

LOAD CALCULATION

FOR FIRST FLOOR

FOR SLAB

Calculate each load for each slab member or make it as a group and calculate for

Maximum area.

Dead load

Self weight on slab = thickness x area x unit weight of concrete

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Floor finishes = 0.5 KN/m2 x area of slab ( refer page 336 – ramamurtham)

Live load

Live load on slab = 3 KN / M2 x area of slab ( refer page 335 – ramamurtham)

Loads on slab = live load + dead load + total load on second floor
Total loads on slab in first floor = number of slab x loads on the slab

BEAM

find critical beam and calculate load for that critical beam.

Dead load

Self weight of the beam = beam dimension x unit span x unit weight of concrete

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Load on beam = load on slab + dead load

Total load on beam = number of beam x load on beam

COLUMN

Find critical column and calculate load for that

Dead load

Self weight of column = column dimension x floor height x unit weight of conc.

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Load on column = dead load + total load on beam

Total Load on column = load on column x number of column

Total load on first floor = total load on slab + total load on beam + total load on
column
LOAD CALCULATION

FOR GROUND FLOOR

FOR SLAB

Calculate each load for each slab member or make it as a group and calculate for

Maximum area.

Dead load

Self weight on slab = thickness x area x unit weight of concrete

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Floor finishes = 0.5 KN/m2 x area of slab ( refer page 336 – ramamurtham)

Live load

Live load on slab = 3 KN / M2 x area of slab ( refer page 335 – ramamurtham)

Loads on slab = live load + dead load + total load on ground floor

Total loads on slab in ground floor = number of slab x loads on the slab

BEAM

find critical beam and calculate load for that critical beam.

Dead load

Self weight of the beam = beam dimension x unit span x unit weight of concrete

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Load on beam = load on slab + dead load

Total load on beam = number of beam x load on beam

COLUMN

Find critical column and calculate load for that

Dead load

Self weight of column = column dimension x floor height x unit weight of conc.

Self weight of wall = breadth x depth x unit span x unit weight of wall

Load on column = dead load + total load on beam

Total Load on column = load on column x number of column

Total load on ground floor = total load on slab + total load on beam + total load
on column

LOAD ON FOOTING

= TOTAL LOAD ON FLOORS + FLOOR FINISH IN GROUND FLOOR + SELF WEIGHT OF

PLINTH BEAM
