Typical Design Loads Schedule

The document outlines typical design loads for various building elements, including a roof pitched at 40 degrees that has a variable load of 0.75 kN/m2 and permanent loads of 0.8 kN/m2 measured on slope and 1.04 kN/m2 measured on plan. Ceilings have variable loads of 0.25 kN/m2 and permanent loads of 0.3 kN/m2, while first floors have variable loads of 1.5 kN/m2 and permanent loads of 0.45 kN/m2. Cavity walls have loads of 1.8 kN/m2 for 100mm block and 2 kN/m2 for 102.5mm
