2.0 DESIGN LOADS
2.1 DEAD LOADS
2.1.1 Concrete ----------------------- 25.40 kN/cum
2.1.2 Steel ----------------------- 77.00 kN/cum
2.2 LIVE LOAD
2.2.1 Service Live Load ----------------------- 20% of Windload (Impact Load)
2.3 EARTHQUAKE
2.3.1 Zone 4 ----------------------- Z = 0.40
2.4 WIND LOAD
2.4.1 Wind Velocity, Zone 2 ----------------------- V = 290 kph
see Figure 207A.5-IA,B or C
2.5 Other loadings shall be in accordance with NSCP requirements and specifications
2.6
2.6.1 For design of main reinforcement of PC Wall, only wind load + impact load (20%) will govern since its
laterally acting on the surface area of the wall.
- Dead Load or weight of the wall panel itself is not applicable since its oriented vertically downward.
2.6.2 a) For the design of dowel bars / connectors of PC Wall, moment produced by dead load, wind load or
earthquake load will induce tensile and compression stresses on the dowel bars thus, it should be design to
resist those stresses.
