AMK30103 L2-1 Structural Load

This document discusses an introduction to reinforced concrete design and structural loads. It defines structural elements as parts of a building intended to carry loads, such as beams, columns, slabs, and footings. Non-structural elements are not intended to carry loads, like walls, doors, and ductwork. The document outlines different types of structural loads including permanent dead loads from structural elements and finishes, as well as variable live loads from occupancy. It provides examples of calculating load effects from structural elements like brick walls on beams.

Non structural Vs Structural

• Non Structural means a part of a building that does not or is


not intended to carry a structural load imposed or transmitted by
another part of a building.

• Structural means a part of a building that does or intended to


carry a structural load imposed or transmitted by another part of
a building.

Non-Structural Work does not include the following work:

• Work that may affect the structural integrity of a structural


element of a building, or weaken or remove, completely or
partly, the structural element, if the element is installed in a way
that it carries, or can carry, a load of part of a building;
• Work that involves the use of a structural element to carry, or to
possibly carry, a structural load of part of a building.

Variable Load (Imposed/Live Load)


• Imposed floor loads are variable actions and for various dwellings are
given in EN 1991-1-1 (2002). These loads include a small allowance for
impact and other dynamic effects that may occur in normal occupancy.
• Wind actions are variable but for convenience they are expressed as
static pressures in EN 1991-1-4 (2002). The pressure at any point on a
structure is related to the shape of the building, the basic wind speed,
topography and ground roughness.
