foundation design: how to set the load
foundation design: how to set the load
(OP)
Hi all,
How to set the loads that are within or on the building? Is there any standard or regulation with a list of the foundation design load according to the building type?
Thanks

Local building codes will dictate what loads based on what occupancy. And the actual foundation design depends heavily on the type of framing used in the structure above

I suppose it is something like the following, right?

Unless you are in Turkey I wouldn't use that document as your design basis though, I skim read it and some things seem wonky and off compared to Canadian code at least.

I found it on internet just understand how the building code look like. I'm from Italy.
RE: foundation design: how to set the load
In the national construction standards (NTC08) you have the bulk weights of various construction material (permanent loads), plus you have the variable loads, occupancy, seismic, wind and snow loads, plus the combination coefficients plus the safety factors according to various design approaches according to the Eurocode scheme. Something is similar to the ASCE-SEI standard, some ain't.
Structurals know the final loading only after they've designed their building by a commercial software.
Also, loading varies from a small area to the other small area.
You may estimate the loading though if you only need a ballpark figure. The estimate is not a quick business.

thanks for your precious information. I'll look into NTC08
