DEAD LOADS (In reference to NSCP 2015)

Dead Load 1 (DL1)

 Reference Load * Slab Thickness multiplied by the
 Selfweight (Concrete at 23.54 kN/m3) concrete density 23.54 kN/m3
 2.35 kN/m2 at 100 mm Slab Thickness (Floor Load) So, 0.1m x 23.54 kN/m3
= 2.35 kN/m2

Dead Load 2 (DL2)

 Reference Load
 3.35 kN/m2 (Floor Load - Floor Finish)
 7.08 kN/m (Member Load – Wall) 100mm thk. at GF to 2F
 6.75 kN/m (Member Load – Wall) 100mm thk. at 2F to 3F
 6.75 kN/m (Member Load – Wall) 100mm thk. at 3F to 4F
 6.75 kN/m (Member Load – Wall) 100mm thk. at 4F to RD

7.08 kN/m is calculated from 100mm wall with a unit weight of 16.5 kN/m3 multiplied by the wall
height 4.0m added by 0.48 using Tabele 204-2 of the NSCP 2015.
Therefore; 0.1 x 16.5 x 4.0 + 0.48 = 7.08 kN/m

6.75 kN/m is calculated from 100m wall with a unit weight of 16.5 kN/m3 multiplied by the wall height
3.8m added by 0.48 using Tabele 204-2 of the NSCP 2015.
Therefore; 0.1 x 16.5 x 3.8 + 0.48 = 6.75 kN/m
