Second – Fourth Floor

Dead Loads carried by second floor slabs:
(Considering the highest load per category to determine the ultimate load)
Ceilings
 Suspended Metal Lath and Cement Plaster 0.72 Kpa

Floor and Floor Finishes

 Ceramic or quarry tile (20 mm)

on 25 mm mortar bed 1.10 Kpa

Floor Fill

 Lightweight concrete, 150 mm 0.45 Kpa

Frame Partitions

 Wood or steel studs, 13 mm

gypsum board each side 0.38 Kpa

Frame Walls

 Exterior walls50x150 @400mm,

15mm gypsum, insulted, 10mm siding 0.57 Kpa

Weight of Slab 2.943 Kpa

Total Dead Load: 6.163 Kpa

Live Loads carried by second floor slabs:

Type of Occupancy:
School 4.8 Kpa
Total Live Load: 4.8 Kpa
