The building structure must be designed to carry orresist the loads that are applied to it over its design-life.The building structure will be subjected to loads thathave been categorized as follows:
Dead Loads (D): are permanent loads acting on the structure.These include the self-weight of structural & non-structuralcomponents. They are usually gravity loads.
Live Loads (L): are non-permanent loads acting on the structuredue to its use & occupancy. The magnitude & location of liveloads changes frequently over the design life. Hence, they cannotbe estimated with the same accuracy as dead loads.
Wind Loads (W): are in the form of pressure or suction on theexterior surfaces of the building. They cause horizontal lateralloads (forces) on the structure, which can be critical for tallbuildings. Wind loads also cause uplift of light roof systems.

Snow Loads (S): are vertical gravity loads due tosnow, which are subjected to variability due toseasons & drift.
Roof Live Load (Lr): are live loads on the roof causedduring the design life by planters, people, or byworkers, equipment, & materials duringmaintenance.
Values of structural loads can be computed based onthe design code.

Dead loads consist of the weight of all materials ofconstruction incorporated into the building includingbut not limited to walls, floors, roofs, ceilings, stairways,built-in partitions, finishes, cladding & other similarlyincorporated architectural & structural items, & fixedservice equipment such as plumbing stacks & risers,electrical feeders, & heating, ventilating, & airconditioning systems.
In some cases, the structural dead load can be estimatedsatisfactorily from simple formulas based in the weights& sizes of similar structures. For example, the averageweight of steel framed buildings is 3 - 3.6 kPa, & theaverage weight for reinforced concrete buildings is 5 - 6kPa.

From an engineering standpoint, once the materialsand sizes of the various components of the structureare determined, their weights can be found from tablesthat list their densities. See Tables 1.2 & 1.3, which aretaken from Hibbeler, R.C. (1999), Structural Analysis,4th Edition.

Building floors are usually subjected to uniform live loads orconcentrated live loads. They have to be designed to safely supportthese loads.

Design wind loads for buildings can be based on: (a)simplified procedure; (b) analytical procedure; & (c) windtunnel or small-scale procedure.
Refer to ASCE 7-05 for the simplified procedure. Thissimplified procedure is applicable only to buildings withmean roof height less than 18 m or the least dimension of thebuilding.
The wind tunnel procedure consists of developing a small-scale model of the building & testing it in a wind tunnel todetermine the expected wind pressures etc. It is expensive &may be utilized for difficult or special situations.
The analytical procedure is used in most design offices. It isfairly systematic but somewhat complicated to account forthe various situations that can occur:

Wind velocity will cause pressure on any surface in itspath. The wind velocity & hence the velocity pressuredepend on the height from the ground level. Equation1.3 is recommended by ASCE 7-05 for calculating thevelocity pressure (qz) in SI
qz = 0.613 Kz KztKd V2 I (N/m2)

qz – Static wind pressure
V - the wind velocity in m/s
Kd - a directionality factor (= 0.85 see Table 6.4 page 80)
Kzt - a topographic factor (= 1.0)
I - the importance factor (=1.0)
Kz - varies with height z above the ground level (see Table 6.3 page 79)

A significant portion of Palestine has V = 100 km/h. Atthese location
qz = 402 Kz (N/m2)
The velocity pressure qz is used to calculate the design wind pressure (p)
for the building structure conservatively as follows:
p = q GCp (N/m2)

Cp = -0.7 sidewalls
Cp = -0.7 slope<0.75(1.5)
• Note that:
• A positive sign indicates pressure acting towards a surface.
• Negative sign indicates pressure away from the surface

Wind pressure (p) Gust factor = G = 0.85 for rigid structures
External pressure coefficient = Cp = +0.8 for windward walls
Cp = -0.5 for leeward walls
Cp = -0.7 for side walls
External pressure = q G Cp
External pressure on windward wall = qz GCp = 402 Kz x 0.85 x 0.8 = 273.4 Kz Pa toward surface
External pressure on leeward wall = qh GCp = 402 K18 x 0.85 x (-0.5) = 145.2 Pa away from surface
External pressure on side wall = qh GCp = 402 K18 x 0.85 x (-0.7) = 203.3 Pa away from surface
The external pressures on the structure are shown in the following two figures.
