02 Dead Load & Live Load Calculation DEAD LOAD OF STRUCTURES (CONSTANT) According to UBBL
Density of Concrete 24 KN/m2 Density of Brick wall 19 KN/m2
STRUCTURE Concrete Beam
Concrete Slab
Brick Wall
Column
SELF-WEIGHT CALCULATION Cross-sectional area = (0.15m x 0.3m) = 0.045m2 Self-weight of beam per metre length = Cross-sectional area x Density of concrete = 0.045 x 24 = 1.08 KN/m Thickness of slab = 0.15m Self-weight of slab per metre square area = Thickness x Density of Concrete = .15 x 24 = 3.6 KN/m2 Thickness of wall = 0.15m Height of wall = 3.5m Self-weight wall per metre length = Thickness x Height x Density of brick wall = 0.15 x 3.5 x 19 = 9.975 KN/m =9.98 KN All columns are assumed to be 3.5m Cross-sectional area = (.15 x .3) = 0.045m2 Dead Load = 0.045 x 3.5 x 24 =3.78 KN Cross-sectional area = (.15 x .6) = 0.09m2 Dead Load = 0.09 x 3.5 x 24 =7.56 KN
