 F. LOAD CASES

Loads are forces or other actions that results from the weight of all building materials,
occupants and their possessions, environmental effects, differential movement, and
restrained dimensional changes. Permanent loads are those loads in which variations over
time are rare of small magnitude. All other loads are variable loads. Below are case in which
loads will be used and classified.

❖ MINIMUM DESIGN LIVE LOADS (NSCP2015, TABLE 205.1)

Typical Floors 1.9 kPa

❖ EARTHQUAKE LOADS

The vibratory ground motion caused by earthquake can have damaging effects
on structures and can even lead to collapse. That’s why earthquake provision is
primarily to

design seismic resistant structures to safeguard against major structural damage that
may lead to loss of life and property. Below are the seismic analysis parameters
calculation that has been quoted from
NSCP 2015, Section 208:
EARTHQUAKE LOADS.

G. LOAD COMBINATIONS

Considering that earthquake load E, is as specified under NSCP 2015 section 208.6.1
which is equal to:

Where:

the earthquake load on an element of the structure resulting from the

combination of the horizontal component, and vertical component
the earthquake loads due to the base shear as set forth in Section 208.5.2 or the
design lateral force, as set forth in Section 208.9
the load effect resulting from the vertical component of the earthquake ground
motion and is equal to an addition of to the deadload effect D, for Strength
Design, and may take as zero for Allowable Stress Design
Reliability/ Redundancy Factor as given by the following equation:

Assuming:
 E v =0.5 CaID

Say SD Soil Type=0.44 Na ; Na=1.0

So , Ev=0.5(0.44)(1.0) D=0.22 D

Therefore:

1.4 DL
1.2 DL + 1.6 LLa
1.2 DL + 1.6 LLb
1.42 DL + 0.5 LLa + 1.0 EL
1.42 DL + 0.5 LLb + 1.0 EL
1.42 DL + 0.5 LLa + 1.0 ER
1.42 DL + 0.5 LLb + 1.0 ER
