FIRE REQUIREMENTS:
FLOOR VIBRATION:
A 3 thick slab of lightweight concrete on spans in the range of 30-36 feet is not expected
to exhibit floor vibrations severe enough to be considered objectionable. Furthermore, partitions
eliminate vibration problems since they introduce damping to the structural system.

ASCE 7-02CALLS FOR A 100 PSF LIVE LOAD ALLOWANCE ON FIRST FLOOR OFFICE BUILDING CORRIDORS.
HOWEVER, THIS WAS IGNORED SINCE THE FIRST FLOOR SLAB IS CONSTRUCTED ON GRADE.
ASCE 7-02 CALLS FOR A 100 PSF LIVE LOAD ALLOWANCE FOR STAIRS AND EXITWAYS.
Deck Type: B works well with thicker insulation required for project location.
Depth of 1 1/2", again most common, no special needs for wide spacing of roof
joists on this job.
Sheet metal thickness, use 20 gauge for nice constructability and working platform
and nice weldability.
Roof Decks According to Load Demand
Live Load = 20
Dead Load = 22
Total = 42
6'-0" spans (Assumption to be varified during roof joist selection, see sheet 16)
Use 3 Span
Vulcraft Page 4
-Max SDI construction span = length of span (unshored) for construction
-Run over 3 or more sets of joists - 3 span
Choose - B20, Max SDI Const. 3 Span = 7'-9", Allowable Total Load = 114 psf for 6'-0" spans
Deck Type
Use composite deck as common choice
Depth 1-1/2", again common
Sheet metal thickness, use 20 gauge for nice construction working platform and nice weldability
Notation:
R - rain on the undeflected roof, in pounds per square inch
ds - depth of water on the undeflected roof up to the inlet of the secondary drainage system
dh - additional depth of water on the undeflected roof above the inlet of the secondary
drainage system at its design flow
ANALYSIS:
R = 5.2 * ( ds + dh )
ds = 2
dh = 0
R= 10.4 psf

WIND LOAD ANALYSIS (per ASCE 7-02), Method for Buildings of All Heights
Wind Loads acting on main structural lateral system
Notation:
qz = velocity pressure evaluated at height z above ground, in pounds per square foot
qh = velocity pressure evaluated at height z = h, in pounds per square foot
pz = pressure that varies with height in accordance with the velocity pressure q z evaluated
at height z
ph = pressure that is uniform with respect to height as determined by the velocity pressure q h
evaluated at mean roof height h
I = importance factor (see ASCE 7-02 table 6-1)
V = basic wind speed obtained from ASCE 7-02 Fig. 6-1, in miles per hour
Gf = gust effect factor for main wind force resisting systems of flexible buildings and other
structures
Cp = external pressure coefficient to be used in the determination of wind loads for buildings
(see ASCE 7-02 Figure 6-6)
Kz = velocity pressure exposure coefficient evaluated at height z (see ASCE 7-02 Table 6-3)
Kzt = topographic factor (in our case we will use 1.0 see ASCE 7-02 sec. 6.5.3 for further explanation)
Analysis:
pz = qz*Gf *Cp
qz = 0.00256*Kz*Kzt*V2*I (ASCE 7-98 Eq. 6-1)
Note: For the leeward force calculations the penthouse was analyzed separately producing
two separate pressure values. For all wind forces, Pz is assumed constant from mid-story below
to mid-story above each floor (or roof) level. Wind load for first half story above grade assumed
to be transferred from the exterior wall cladding system directly to foundation.

SUBJECT: LOAD TAKEOFF SHEET 11 of 131
Notation:
Ce = exposure factor as determined from ASCE 7-02 Table 7-2
Cs = slope factor as determined from ASCE 7-02 Fig. 7-2
Ct = thermal factor as determined from ASCE 7-02 Table 7-3
hb = height of balanced snow load determined by dividing p s by g
hc = clear height from top of balanced snow load to (1) closest point on adjacent upper roof;
(2) top of parapet; or (3) top of a projection on the roof, in feet
hd = height of snow drift, in feet
I = importance factor as determined from ASCE 7-02 Table 7-4;
lu = length of the roof upwind of the drift, in feet
pd = maximum intensity of drift surcharge load, in pounds per square foot
pf = snow load on flat roofs ("flat" = roof slope less than or equal to 5 degrees), in pounds per
square foot
pg = ground snow loads determined from ASCE 7-02 Fig 7-1 and/or ASCE 7-02 Table 7-1; or a
site specific analysis, in pounds per square foot
ps = sloped roof snow load in pounds per square foot
w = width of snow drift, in feet
g = snow density in pounds per cubic foot as determined from ASCE 7-02 Eq. 7-4
ANALYSIS:
We have a class II, exposure B situation (see ASCE 7-02 Tables 1-1 and ASCE 7-02 Section 6.5.3 for clarification)
ps = Cs*Pf (in our case Cs = 1.0 because our roof can be considered "flat")
pf = 0.7*Ce*Ct*I*Pg
Cs = 1
Ce = 0.9
Ct = 1
I= 1
pg = 20
pf = 12.6 But since this cannot be less than I * p g our pf value becomes
I * pg = 20 (see ASCE 7-02 7.3.4 for clarification)
ps = 20 psf
In our case a 5 psf rain on snow surcharge load must be applied (see ASCE 7-02 Section 7.10)
therefore,
pS = 20 + 5 = 25 psf

hb = ps / g
ps = 25 psf
hb = 1.51 ft
hc = 13 ft
hc / hb = 8.6
***since hc / hb > 0.2 we must consider snow drift see ASCE 7-02 Section 7.7 for further explanation
w = 7.5 ft
hc = 13ft
hd = 1.875 ft pg = 20 psf
