Redirected from Specified loads
A good example of specified loads would be the following simplified floor to ceiling sandwich load table (based on the National Building Code of Canada standards)
Floor Finish (Terrazzo) per 10mm thickness = 0.24 kN/m^2
Reinforced Concrete per 10mm thickness = 0.24 kN/m^2
Mechanical Services = 0.35 kN/m^2
Electrical Services = 0.10 kN/m^2
Floor Area (110 mm thickness) = 8 m^2
Total Dead Load = (0.24 + 11*0.24 + 0.35 + 0.10)*8 = 26.64 kN
In order to design to these loads, we would need to convert them to design loads[?] by applying safety factors[?] to them.
