Loading Criteria
Refer to the architectural documents for the extent of different floor

use areas and hence different live and super-imposed dead
loadings, unless noted otherwise:-

Dead Load

Floor slabs and beams self weight as calculated
Floor finishing — lobby and terraces Internal 2.0 kPa

(tile and bed) External 3.0 kPa

Air con and plumbing services,

and light weight ceiling 0.75 kPa + point loads
Other 0.5 kPa

Masonry partitions (where required) self weight as calculated
Soil, waterproofing, insulation self weight as calculated
Live Load*

Balconies and stairs 4.0kPa

Residential areas 3.0 kPa (Point Load 1.8 kN)
Internal garages 5.0 kPa (Point Load 9 kN)

Driveway, Service Vehicle
Delivery/Loading Area 15.0 kPa (Point Load 31 kN)
(or construction loading)

Mechanical and electrical
plant rooms 8.0 kPa (min) (Point Load 4.5 kN)

External Terrace Areas 5.0 kPa (min)

«x Design Live Load must never be less than construction
loading

Earthquake Load

The building will be designed for seismic load in accordance with
the relevant Australian Standard being AS/NZS 1170.4.
e Importance Level 2
e Soil Factor: Class Ce (most of loose sand layer to be removed
from building platform)
