Types of Loads
Dead Loads
Live Loads
Live Loads are loads that change with time or can move:
People, furniture, and occupancy
Any Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL) or Point Load (PL) on top of
the slab
Movable equipment, snow, rain, wind, impact, earthquake

Snow Loads
Lateral Loads
Load Configuations
Load Paths
MTCC5020: DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
Load Paths
The Load Path is the term used to describe the actual path that
a load travels through the structural system
Every structure MUST have a load path to transfer the applied
loads SAFELY to the foundation

Example 1
The figure shows a 4m long simply supported beam shown. The beam
is to carry a self-weight UDL of 25 kN/m, a concentrated dead load of
40 kN at the mid-span, and a distributed UDL live load of 10 kN/m.
(a) Calculate the design loads of w and P for the ultimate limit state (ULS).
(b) Draw the shear force diagram (SFD) and bending moment diagram (BMD).
(c) What are the maximum design shear force and bending moment?

(a) Analyze the different load cases for the continuous beam.
(b) Draw the SFD and BMD for each load case.
(c) From part (b), develop the SFD and BMD envelops.

Concrete Slab
MTCC5020: DESIGN OF STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS
1-Way Slab
Load Distribution:
• Weight density of concrete slab γ=24kN/m3
• Length of beam LB
• Pressure distribution of slab ω= γt,
t=thickness of slab
• Height of the uniform load is ωLs/2

2-Way Slab
Example 3
A typical office floor structure is shown with the concrete slab, steel
beam, and steel column. The floor needs to carry the following loads:
Live load = 4 kPa;
Superimposed dead load = 1 kPa
Slab thickness = 225 mm; Density of concrete slab = 2400 kg/m3;
Density of steel beams = 7850 kg/m3; Ψ1 = 0.5, Ψ2 = 0.3.
(a) Calculate Design loads on beams B1 and B2 for the ULS and SLS.
(b) Draw the SFD and BMD for each load case.
