DIRECT METHOD OF LOWERING LOADS WITH JOIST-AND-VAULT SLABS

Load Analysis - Rooftop

Load Analysis - Mezzanine Floor
Weight of joist and vault (14 cm vault): 176 kg/m2
Live load in mezzanine (housing-regulation): Additional mortar load 170 kg/m2

TOTAL WEIGHT OF FLOOR JOIST AND VAULTED FLOOR SLABS 45 kg/m2

411 kg/m2

Note 1: In prefabricated systems, the joists and vaults must

be placed in the short direction of the slab.

Note 2: The lowering of loads on joists and vaults is carried out

in accordance with
The slab works in two directions, without exception.

EXAMPLE: Lowering of loads of a 4.00 x 5.00 mts. slab (roof), on a

single level or floor, in the long direction supported on a
0.25 x 0.50 mts. beam, and in the short direction
supported on an enclosure chain of 0.15 x 0.20 mts. and
a load bearing wall of annealed mud brick of 7 x 14 x 28
cm.
