The reductions in floor load ‘with number of storeys and with area have been clarified. ‘The basis of the loadings is historical and they agree, subject to comparatively minor variations, with international consensus of opinion, In this Part of this British Stendard code oi practice, rumerieal values have been given in terms of St units, details of which are to be found in BS 8655. Those ‘concerned with the corwersion and renovation of alder buildings designed in terms of imperial units may find it useful to note that 1 N =0.225 Ibf and 1 kN/m? = 20.89 Ibt/tt?.

Scope 1.1 This Part of BS 6399 gives dead and imposed loeds for use in designing buildings. It applies to: {6} new buildings and new structures; (b) alterations an additions to existing buildings and existing structures; (c} existing construction on change of use. It does not apply to the maintenance of, or the replacement of parts of, existing buildings and structures where there i no change of use. 1.2 This cade of practice does not cover: (2} loads on road and rail bridges, as these are dealt with in other British Standards, eg. 8S 6400; (b} wind loads (s0@ CP 3 : Chapter V : Part 2° {c) loads on structures subject to internal pressure from their contents (eg. bunkers, silos and water tanks), which have to be calculated individually: () detailed guidence on dynamic loading and loads due to machinery vibration; (e) loads due to lifts (see BS 2655); (4) fosds incidental to construction: (a) test loads; {h) accidental toads. NOTE. The thes of the publications referred to in thi code are Use on the inside back cove. 2. Definitions For the purposes of this code of practice the following definitions apply, 2.1 dead load. The load due to the weight of all walls, permanent partitions, floors, roofs and finishes, including Services and all other permanent construction, In course of cavition, 2.2 imposed load. The load assumed to be produced by the intended accupancy o usa, including the weight of movable partitions, distributed, concentrated, impact, inertia and snow loads, but excluding wind loads, 2.3 storage height. The height of the space betwaen a floor and a physical constraint to the height of storage formed by a ceiling, soffit of a floor, roof or other obstruction, 2.4 wind load, The load due to the effect of wind pressure or suction, 3. Dead loads Dead loads are calculated from the unit weights given in [BS G48 or from the actual known weights of the materials used. Where permanent partitions are shown in the plans, their actual weights are included in the dead load, ‘The weights of tanks and other receptacles, and of their contents, are considered as dead loads. These loads need to be calculated for the cases when a tank or recaptacla is full and when it is empty. 4, Imposed floor and ceiling loads 4.1. Floors. The loads appropriate to the different uses to ‘which the parts of @ building or structure may be put are given in tables § to 12. A key to the groups in these tables is given in table 1. The distributed loads are the uniformly distributed stetic loads per square metre of plan area and provide for the effects of normal use, Where, in tables 5 to 12, no values are given for concentrated load, it may be assumed that the tebuleted distributed lozd is adequate for design purposes. 1984, BS 6399 : Part 1: Table 1, Occupancy class index Chase “Typleal structures in class* No, of tb containing usages ‘nd loads Residential: Type 1 Self-contained dwelling units 5 Type 2 Apartment houses, boarding houses, quest houses, hostels, 5 lodging houses, residential clubs and communal areas in blocks of flats Type 3 Hotels and motels 5 Institutional and edues Prisons, hospitals, schools, colleges 6 Public assembly Halls, euditorie, restaurants, museums, libraries, 7 non-residential cubs, theatres, brodcasting studios, grandstands Offices Offices, banks 8 Retail Shops, departmental stores, supermarkets 8 Industrial Workshops, factories 10 Storage Warehouses " Vehicular Garages, car parks, vehicle access ramps 12 "The Ilat are not intended to be exhaustive but merely to inclesta the typeof structures included inthe clases. ‘The Imposed loads for floors ae given in tables 5 to 12. Recommendations on the use of these loads will be found in, ‘codes of practice for the structural use of materials. Where recommendations ere not given, the appropriate load ‘ill be whichever produces the greater stresses in the part of the floor under consideration. In the design of floors, concentrated loads are considered to be applied in the positions which produce the maximum stresses and, where deflection is the design criterion, in the positions which produce maximum deflections, The concentrated load need not be considered where the floors are capable of effective lateral distribution of this load. ‘Conoantrated loads when used for the caleulation of bending and shear are assumed to act at a point. When used for the ealculstion of local effects, such as crushing or punching, they are assumed to act over the actual area of ‘application, The sufficiency of the material needed 10 sustain the concentrated loads will be found in the appropriate code of practice for the use of that material. ‘The imposed loads for beams ere the distributed loads ‘appropriate to the uses to which they are to be put, as-given in tables 8 to 12. ‘The general recommendations are not applicable to certain atypical usages particularly where mechanical stecking, plant or machinory are to be installed and in these cases the designer should determine the loads from a knowledge of the equipment and processes likely to be employed. ‘The additional imposed load to provide for partitions, ‘where their positions are not shown on the plans, on beams ‘and floors, where these are capable of effective lateral distribution of the load, isa uniformly distributed load per. square metre of not less than one third of the weight per ‘metre run of the finished partitions, but not less than, 1 kN/m?. 4.2 Ceiling supports and similar structures. The following loads are appropriate to the design of frames and coverings of access hatches (other than glazing), the supports of cellings and similar structures: (a} without acces or (b) with access: 0.25 KN/m* uniformly distributed over ‘the whole area or the area supported and a concentrated load of 0.9 kN so placed as to produce maximum stresses in the affected members, ‘no imposed load 5, Reduction in total imposed floor loads 5.1 No reduction should be made for any plant or machinery which is specifically allowed for, or for buildings for storage purposes, warehouses and garage 5.2. Excapt os provided for in 5.1 and 5.3, the reductions in assumed total imposed floor loads given in table 2 end table 3 may be taken In designing columns, piars, walls, beams, their supports and foundations. Where the floor is designed for 5 kN/m? or more, the reductions shown in table 2 may be takon provided that the loading assumed is, ‘not less than it would have been if al floors had been ddosigned for 5 KN/m? with no reductions, The reductions siven in table 3 do not apply to roofs.

This reduction, or that given in table 2, whichever is the greater, may be taken into account in the design of columns or other types of member supporting such a beam. Table 3.

Reductions for intermectate areas may be ‘aleulated by linear interpolation. 6. Imposed roof loads 6.1 General, In 6.2 to 68 inclusive, all roof slopes are measured from the horizontal and al loads are applied vertically. 6.2 Flat roofs. The imposed load, including snow load”, on flat roots and sloping roofs up to and including 10°, where access (in addition to that necessary for cleaning ‘and repair) Is provided to the roof, is 1.5 kN/m® measured ‘on plen or a 1.8 KN concentrated oad, whichever produces the greater stress. Where deflection is the design criterion, the concentrated load is sumed to ect in the position which produces maximum deflection ‘The imposed load, including snow load, on flat roofs and sloping roofs up to and including 10°, where no access is provided to the roof (other than that necessary for cleaning and repair), is 0.76 kN/m? measured on plan or a 0.9 KN ‘concentrated load, whichever produces the greater stress, Where deflection is the design criterion, the concentrated load is assumed to act in the position which produces maximum deflection. 6.3 Sloping roofs. The imposed loads, including snow load", Con roofs with a slope greater than 10°, where no access is provided to the roof (other than that necessary for cl ‘and repair), are as follows. {a) For a roof-slope of 30" or less: 0.75 kN/m? measured fn plan or a 0.9 kN concentrated load, whichever produces the greater stress. Where daflection is the design criterion, the concentrated load is assumed to act in the position which produces maximum deflection, {b) For a root-slope of 75° or more: zero toad. For roof slopes between 30° end 78°, the imposed load may be obtained by linear interpolation between 0,75 kN/m? for @ 30° roof slope and zero for a 75° roof slope. 6.4 Curved roofs. The imposed load on a curved roof is ‘calculated by dividing the root into not less than five equal segments and by then calculating the load on each, ng BS 6399 : Part 1: 1984 appropriate to its mean slope, in accordance with 6.2 end 6.3. 6.5 Roof coverings. A load of 0.9 kN on any square with @ 125 mm side provides for losds incidental to maintenance cn all self-supporting roof coverings at @ slope of less than 45°, io, those not requiring structural support ovor thi whole area. No loads incidental to maintenance are appropriate to glazing. 7. Crane gantry girders “This clause applies only to single-orane operation and to simple forms of crane gantry construction. Loads for heavy ‘eranes, high-speed aperation or multiple cranes on a single- gantry have to be specially calculated. For crane gantry girders, the following allowances can be ‘used to cover all forces set up by vibration, shock from sipping of slings, Kinetic action of acceleration and retardation and impact of wheel loads: {a} for loads acting vertically, the maximum static whee! loads increased by 25 % for an electric overhesd crane or 10 % for a hanc-operated crane; (b) for the horizontal force acting transverse to the rails, ‘the following percentage of the combined weight of the crab and the load lifted: (1) 10% for an electri overhead crane; oF (2) 8 % for a hand-operated crane; (c) for the horizontal forces acting along the rails, 5 % of the static wheel loads which can eceur on the rails, for overhead cranes which are elther electric oF hhand-operated. ‘The forces specified in oither (b) or (c) above may be ‘considered as acting at the ral level and being appropriately transmitted to the supporting systems, Either of the horizontal forees in (b) or (c) above may act at the same tima as the vertical load on gantry girders and their vertical supports. 8, Dynamic loading (excluding wind) 8.1 General, The values for imposed load given in tables 5 to 12 eliow for small dynamie effects, such as those due to the usual movement of people and items of furniture. The loads do not nocessarily allow for the dynamic affect of machinery (e.g. rotating end/or vibrating machines, braking and acceleration of fork lft trucks) nr do they allow for dlynamie loads due to crowds, NOTE.
