Typical building loads

Typical building loads

Typical building loads

(OP)
I am a non-soils engineer that needs some help on a preliminary foundation design.  Does anyone know of a good reference that provides typical loads (column, wall, etc.) for different type of structures (i.e., one story commercial, two story apartment building, five story office, etc.).  I am envisioning a table of some sort.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

RE: Typical building loads

Loads are code and use dictated.  Plug and chug.
