Loads:

1-Dead load:

Self weight of the building

Super imposed dead load including weight of vehicle = -0.4 kip/ft2

2-Live load:

Live load is 0.5 kip/ft2

3-Wind load:

Wind speed is 70 mph

Exposure from shell objects and exposure category is “B” according to “UBC97” and also importance
factor is 1.

4-Earth quake load:

As the building is located in low risk area so it can be omitted from the analysis and design.

Loads combination generated from the Staad Pro:

Dcon1= 1.4*D.L

Dcon2= 1.2*D.L+1.6 L.L

Dcon3= 1.2*D.L+1*L.L+ 1*WINDX

Dcon4= 1.2*D.L+1*L.L- 1*WINDX

Dcon5= 1.2*D.L+1*L.L+ 1*WINDY

Dcon6= 1.2*D.L+1*L.L- 1*WINDY

Dcon7= 0.9*D.L + 1*WINDX

Dcon8= 0.9*D.L - 1*WINDX

Dcon9=0.9*D.L + 1*WINDY
