Typical Structural Loads
Typical Structural Loads
(OP)
I'm a geotech, so please forgive the remedial question (ok, I'm a new geotech). Where can I find typical structural loads for building types. I can figure the loads out based on construction materials et al, but I'm too lazy to do that just to write a prelim geotech report. Any references?

There is too many variables that affect the total dead loads so it isn't practical to assign a typical floor/roof dead load for a particular building type. Structrual engineers have to break down the loads at each level for each project.
I've been asked by geotechnical engineers to provide a maximum column load and maximum line load at a preliminary stage. If a structural engineer is available, he should be able to give you the answer you need.

or perhaps in "Structural Building Components Magazine". Here are links to a couple of articles
