Some Data on High Rise Buildings
(OP)
Colleagues:
Just doing some research and am wondering if anyone can help. For high rise buildings, say, more than 6 stories, what would the "typical" vertical loading per floor be for (1) apartments, (2) office buildings? Include Dead and "live load" - but not wind and earthquake.
Secondly, in your locale, would you be able to provide some details on typical foundations used (raft, piled raft, spread footings, basements rafts (bouyancy foundations) and on what soil stratigraphy.
Any help over the next several weeks would be greatly appreciated.

For dead load - that varies considerably depending on the type of floor structural system used. For composite steel beam with metal deck/concrete - perhaps 50 to 75 psf. For concrete pan joists - 70 to 100 psf, for two-way flat slabs - 75 to 125 psf. Also depends on the use of lightweight concrete, the span lengths, etc.

You also usually allow a partition load of 10 to 20psf to allow for moveable partitions e.t.c.
