 DEAD LOADS

 Slab  Exterior Wall & Interior Wall

ρ = (23.6 kN/m3) (0.15) ω = (2.84 kPa + 0.48kPa) (3)
ρ = 3.54 kPa = 9.96 kN/m

 Ceiling (Plaster on tile or concrete)  Partition Wall

(Table 204-2 from NSCP 2015) ω = (2.84 kPa) (3) = 8.52 kN/m
ρ = 0.48 kPa
 Parapet
 Tiles (Ceramic or quarry tile 20mm ω = (2.84 kPa + 0.48 kPa) (1.5)
on 25mm mortar bed) = 4.98 kN/m
(Table 204-2 from NSCP 2015)
ρ = 1.10 kPa

 Other Loads

a. Electrical
ρ = 5% of slab
ρ = 5 % (3.54) = 0.18 kPa

b. Plumbing
ρ = 5% of slab
ρ = 5% (3.54) = 0.18 kPa

c. Sprinkler
ρ = 7% of slab
ρ = 7% (3.54) = 0.25 kPa

TOTAL DEAD LOAD = 5.73 kPa = 6 kPa

... USE ρ = 6 kPa for dead load
