Monolithic Floor
All concrete slabs, t = 100 mm
All concrete beams, b = 250 mm ; h = 500 mm
All concrete columns, 300 mm x 300mm
Superimposed Loads
Floor Finish:
Ceramic tile ½ inch mortar
Ceiling:
Wood furring
Gypsum board ¼ inch thick
Mechanical Duct Allowance (MDA)
Frame Partition:
Wood, studs with gypsum board h=2.8m
Utilities: twice the weight of MDA
Exterior Walls
Normal Unit Weight Concrete Masonry/ Concrete Hollow Blocks, CHB
4 inch thick with plastering on both faces, full grout
height=3m (no interior walls)
Live Load
