EXAMPLE ( 1 )
ORDINARY SYSTEM
• A factory building is to be constructed over a
rectangular area ( 21m X 42m ), the main system is
made up of steel trusses. Steel columns are provided
along perimeter only, clear height = 7m, the covering
material used is galvanized steel sheets.
• It is required to draw a complete general layout.

Classification of loads according
to ECP 205
1‐ Primary Loads
Dead loads + Live loads +
Dynamic effects + Centrifugal forces.
2‐ Additional Loads
Wind Pressure + Braking forces +
Lateral shock effect +
Change of temperature + Frictional resistance
of bearings +Settlement of supports +
the effect of shrinkage and creep of concrete.

Design Cases according
to ECP 205
‐ To ensure that your design is Economic & Safe
• Case I
Dead loads + Live loads
• Case II
Case I + Additional loads
‐ The effective ratio for Additional loads to be considered in
design is 20 %.
