Floor Loads

[hkderinoz]

Prof. at IMO IZMIR. Dr. Excerpt from the presentation given by our teacher Hikmet H. ÇATAL.- Due to architectural reasons, some partition walls may overlap directly on the floor, not on the beam. In such cases, when choosing G (fixed) and Q (moving) loads on the floors: 1-Linear load can be entered on the floor in the Idestatic program. When defining G (constant load section) to this system practically -- h(wall height) x 0.3 = 20 for brick wall (unit tf/m ) -- h(wall height) x 0.2 = 10 (unit tf/m ) can be entered for brick wall. 2- If the total length [/i](meter) of the walls directly pressing on the floor is more than 1/4 of the sum of the 4 sides (clear opening) of the relevant floor, that is, the perimeter , when defining this to the system, Q ( to the live load section) practically -- 0.500 tf/m for 20 'brick wall -- 0.350 tf/m 10 for brick wall ) can be entered. Waiting for your comments and opinions.
