 Loads on PEBs

• Dead Loads
Dead load is the weight of all permanent
construction materials, such as roofing,
framing, and other structural elements

Normally: 50 to 100 kg/m2

 Loads on PEBs
• Collateral Loads or Super-imposed dead loads (SIDL)
 Collateral or superimposed dead load is a specific type of dead load that
includes the weight of any materials other than the permanent
construction. It may account for the weight of mechanical ducts, pipes,
sprinklers, electrical work, future ceilings, and reroofing.
 Ceilings: 5 to 15 kg/m2
 Lighting: 0.5 to 5 kg/m2
 Heating, ventilating, air conditioning ducts : 5 kg/m2
 Sprinklers: 7.5 kg/m2 for dry systems, 15 kg/m2 for wet systems
In Total
 25- kg/m2 collateral load is sufficient to account for the effect of most
superimposed dead loads
 Loads on PEBs

• Live loads
This load is supposed to due loads that may
move.

Normally: Access provided 75 kg/m2

Access not provided 50 kg/m2

• Earthquake Loads

When do we do dynamic analysis?

When the natural frequency of a structure is

very close to the excitation frequency then
“dynamic amplifications” becomes pre-
dominant and hence dynamic analysis is needed

If the natural frequency is well away then we

can treat them by “equivalent static” analysis.
For wind sensitive structures the critical
frequency is 1Hz
