9. Assign loads
a) Area loads
Each panel should be loaded the live load
based on CODE given, and the finishing load also
applied based on the type of the finishing. But in
this example we will apply similar load for each
panel.
Dead loads
Finishing loads ( floor finish, cement screed
and plastering) in this example take 8kN/m2
Live load, take 3kN/m2
Since the floor is typical ,we can assign load at
a time to all floor

beam based on the height and thickness of the
wall.

and 15kN Dead load and 10 kN live load at points
on which the trusses will be placed.
Assume the trusses will be placed on X
direction beams at 0.2, 0.5, and 0.8 (relative
distance) of each span.
