Live Loads consider for design of Partition walls in Office building
(OP)
Hello All,
Im doing the structural design of partition walls inside a office building. On the top of the wall a small book shelf attached to the wall .
while checking the code the min load is 0.25 kN/m2 ( As per IBC 2006 - 1607.13). I think its very small load. Can you suggest any codes for the design of partition walls??

For any lateral loads , use a accidental loads from a foot bridge design code value

@Anushka123 Thanks. i will take the loads recommendation for barriers (.74 kN/m At 1.1m ht from floor , 1 Kn/m2 and 0.5 kn), Is it safe or we have to consider more loads.
what is the load recommendation for accidental loads for foot bridge??

For Paper Media: 12" deep shelf = 33 plf; 15" deep shelf = 41 plf, and racks & cabinets = 33 pcf
For Other Media: 20 psf or 20 pcf

The accidental lateral loads are as follows
According to Light bridge manual Australia, It is 10% of vertical load. So in this case you can assume a vertical load from a man or from a desk
According to Scotland manual it is 74kg/m

I got a code reference for Internal non-load bearing partitions – DIN 4103-1
