Types of Loads
Determination of loads for which a given
structure may be designed for is a
difficult problem.
Questions to be Answered:
• What loads may structure be called upon during its
lifetime?
• In what combinations these loads occur?
• The probability that a specific live load be
exceeded at some time during lifetime of
structure?
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan

Types of Loads
Design load should be rational such that considering 150mph
wind load for a tower is reasonable but not the load of a tank on
top of the tower.
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr. Akhtar Naeem Khan
5
Types of Loads
Three broad categories:
1. Dead load
2. Live load
3. Environmental load
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan

Types of Loads
1. Dead load
Dead Loads consist of the weight of all
materials and fixed equipment
incorporated into the building or other
structure. (UBC Section 1602)
Weight of structure
Weight of permanent machinery etc.
Dead loads can be reasonably estimated if
the member dimensions and material
densities are known.
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
7
Types of Loads
2. Live load:
Live loads are those loads produced by the
use and occupancy of the building or other
structure and do not include dead load,
construction load, or environmental loads.
Weight of people, furniture, machinery,
goods in building.
Weight of traffic on bridge
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan

Types of Loads
2. Live load:
• Buildings serve such diverse purposes that it is
extremely difficult to estimate suitable design
loads.
• Different building codes specify live load
requirements.
• Uniform Building Code (UBC)
• Southern Standard Building Code
• BOCA National Building Code

Types of Loads
2. Live load:
The 40psf L.L specified by code for Residential Buildings is too
Conservative to account for the uncertainties in structural actions
Such as impact, fatigue, temp. effects etc.

Types of loads
3. Environmental Loads
Environmental loads include wind load,
snow load, rain load, earthquake load,
and flood load.
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
12
Live load reduction
The Uniform building code and BOCA National
building code permit reduction in basic design live
load on any member supporting more than 150ft2
R = r(A-150)
Or
Where
CE-409: Lecture 03
R = 23.1(1+D/L)
R = reduction, percent
r
= rate of reduction = 0.08% for floors
A = area supported by floor or member
D = dead load, psf
L = basic live load,psf
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
13
Wind load
Bernoulli’s equation for stream flow is used to
determine local pressure at stagnation point,
considering air to be non-viscous &
incompressible.
q = (ρv2/2)
q: pressure
ρ: mass density of air
v: velocity
• This pressure is called velocity pressure, dynamic pressure,
stagnation pressure.
• This equation is based on steady flow.
• It does not account for dynamic effects of gusts or dynamic
response of body.
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
14
Wind load
Resultant wind pressure on body depends upon
pattern of flow around it.
Pressure vary from point to point on surface,
which depends on shape & size of body.
Resultant wind pressure is expressed as:
PD = CDA(ρv2/2)
PL= CLA(ρv2/2)
CD : Drag coefficient
CL : Lift coefficient
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
15
Wind load
• For buildings bridges and the like pressure is
expressed in terms of Shape Factor CS (pressure
coefficient)
P = CSq = CS(ρv2/2)
•Air at 15C weighs 0.0765pcf
P=0.00256CSV2
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
V: mph
16
Wind load
Measured wind velocities are averages of
fluctuating velocities encountered during a finite
time.
In US average of velocities recorded during the
time it takes a horizontal column of air 1 mile long
to pass a fixed point.
Fastest mile is highest velocity in 1 day.
Annual extreme mile is the largest of the daily
maximums.
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
17
Wind load
Wind pressure to be used in design should be
based on a wind velocity having a specific
mean recurrence interval.
The flow of air close to ground is slowed by
surface roughness, which depends on density,
size and height of buildings, trees, vegetation
etc.
Velocity at 33ft (UBC: Sec 1616) above ground
is used as the basic values for design purpose.

Wind load
Shape factor varies considerably with proportion
of structure & horizontal angle of incidence of the
wind.
• CS for windward face of flat roofed rectangular building is 0.9
• CS for negative pressure on rear face varies from -0.3 to -0.6
• For such building resultant pressure be determined by shape
factor 1.2 to 1.5
• Commonly used is 1.3
• CS for Side walls -0.4 to –0.8
• CS for roof –0.5 to –0.8
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan

Wind load
Wind forces on trussed structures e.g. bridges, transmission
towers, beam bridges, girder bridges etc. difficult to assess
because of leeward parts of structure.
Recommended coefficients for walls of buildings,
gabled roofs, arched roofs, roofs over unenclosed
structures(stadium), chimneys, tanks, signs,
transmission towers etc. are given in ASCE 7-02
Wind pressures specified by building codes include
allowance for gust and shape factors.

Pressure acts on the windward face of the building
Suction acts on the leeward face of the building
Suction acts on the sides of the building so a person
standing in The window may be thrown outside
Suction acts on the floor so that GI sheet floors are
blown away During strong wind storms
Prof. Dr. Akhtar Naeem Khan

Wind load
The revolving restaurant supported by a concrete column will
Experience suction which will cause tension in the column and as
Concrete is weak in tension so it may crack. As a result the lateral
Wind load may collapse the restaurant.

Earthquake Load
Earthquake Waves
Earthquake loads are necessary to
consider in earthquake prone regions.
Earthquake waves are of two types:
Body waves
Surface waves
CE-409: Lecture 03
Prof. Dr Akhtar Naeem Khan
31
Earthquake Load
Earthquake Waves
• Body waves consists of P-waves & S-waves
•These waves cause the ground beneath the structure to
move back and forth and impart accelerations into the
base of structure.
•Period and intensity of these acceleration pulses
change rapidly & their magnitude vary from small
values to more than that of gravity.

Factors effecting earthquake response of structures
Structure response to an earthquake primarily
depends upon:
• Mass

Natural Time period of structures
EQ generally have short periods which may match the natural
period of the low rise buildings, say 10 to 20 stories which causes
resonance results in serious damages. The possibility of
resonance for high rise buildings is low due to longer time periods.

Mean Return Period
The average Time Period (in years) based on
geological and historical records in which there is a
good statistical probability that an earthquake of a
certain magnitude or a hurricane will recur is called
Mean Return Period or Recurrence Interval R.
Probability of Exceedence of the event in any one year
is the inverse of the Mean Return Period = 1/R
Probability that an event will be exceeded at least once in
the n years is
Pn= 1-( 1-1/R)n

Mean Return Period
Example:- A structure expected to have a life of 50 years built
in locality where mean recurrence interval of an windstorm of
150mph is 95 yrs. The probability that structure will
encounter an windstorm exceeding 150mph during its life is?
P50=1-( 1-1/95)50

an earthquake exceeding 0.4g during its life is?
P50=1-( 1-1/95)50

Mean Return Period
Uniform Building Code specifies that the earthquake for
which a building has to be designed should correspond to an
earthquake with a return period of 475 years.
Assuming that a building has service life of 50 years. The
probability that it will experience and earthquake of mean
return period 475 in its design life would be:
P50=1 - ( 1 - 1/475)50
=1- 0.90

Impact Load
Spring Example
It is customary to express Impact load as
percentage of static force.
Effect of impact load is taken into account in
calculation of loads.
If impact is 25 %, Live load is multiplied by 1.25
According to AISC live load on hangers
supporting floor and balcony construction should
be increased by one-third for impact.

Why only Dead load in equation (1) ?
There may be a significant live load on a
structure during construction.
Moreover, the structure may have not
reached its full 28 days strength as further
construction is usually carried out .

LRFD Load Combinations
Example: increase in dead load on the ground floor due bricks
lying on the roof for the construction of the first floor

LRFD Load Combinations
Why negative sign in equation (6) ?
It accounts for the stability of structures due
to lateral loadings.

LRFD Load Combinations
The stabilizing effect of gravity is reduced and the destabilizing
effect of lateral load due to wind or earthquake is increased to
have the worse situation

Load Combinations
Example: Roof beams W16X31, spaced 7ft-0in center-to-center,
support a superimposed dead load of 40 psf. Code specified roof
loads are 30 psf downward (due to roof live load, snow, or rain)
and 20 psf upward or downward (due to wind). Determine the
critical loading for LRFD.
D = 31 plf + 40 psf X 7.0 ft = 311 plf
L=0
(Lr or S or R) = 30 psf X 7.0 ft = 210 plf
W = 20 psf X 7.0 ft = 140 plf
E=0

Load Combinations
1) 1.4D
1.4(311 plf) = 435 plf
2) 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)
1.2(311 plf) + 0 + 0.5(210 plf) = 478 plf
3) 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S or R) + (0.5L or 0.8W)
1.2(311 plf) + 1.6 (210 plf) +0.8(140 plf) = 821 plf
4) 1.2D + 1.3W + 0.5L + 0.5(Lr or S or R)
1.2(311 plf) + 1.3(140 plf) + 0 +0.5(210 plf) = 660 plf

5) 1.2D ± 1.0E + 0.5L + 0.2S
1.2(311 plf) + 0 + 0 + 0.2(210 plf) = 415 plf
6) 0.9D ± (1.3W or 1.0E)
a) 0.9 (311 plf) + 1.3 (140 plf) = 462 plf
b) 0.9(311 plf) - 1.3(140 plf) = 98 plf
The critical factored load combination for design is the third, with
a total factored load of 821 plf.
