Load Evaluation
1.1 Dead load
Self-weight of the structure is taken into account by SAP program when performing the structural
analysis. Calculation of the dead load of structural elements is no needed.
Dead load from roof system. Following elements are used for roof system:

The vertical component of the seismic action will not be considered for this building. The building do not
have a great hight, so there is no important influence of the vertical component.
Destination of the building is industrial hall: Class III => I.e 1.0
The behaviour factor for the office building:
- for baced frames : q=6.5
-for non-braced frames : q=4
The structure will be design for DCH class.
The behaviour factor for the industrial hall: q=1.5
The structure will be design for DCL class.
