Load Calculation: Self-Weight of Materials SL No Material Density (KN/M)

This document provides load calculations for various building materials and areas of a structure. It lists the unit weights and densities of common construction materials like concrete, steel, and soil. It then specifies area load distributions in kilonewtons per square meter (kN/m2) for different room types and areas of the building, such as roofs, hotel rooms, corridors, and mechanical spaces. Notes indicate that some architectural plans were unavailable and that local authority regulations specify minimum load requirements for certain areas.
