3.2.1
For the purpose of designing any element,
member or a structure, the following loads (actions) and their effects shall be taken into account, where applicable, with partial safety factors find combinations (see 5.3.3):
- a) Dead loads;
- b) Imposed loads (live load, crane load, snow load, dust load, wave load, earth pressures etc);
- c) Wind loads;
- d) Earthquake loads;
- e) Erection loads;
- f) Accidental loads such as those due to blast impact of vehicles, etc; and
- g) Secondary effects due to contraction or expansion resulting from temperature changes, differential settlements of the structure as a whole or of its components, eccentric connections, rigidity of joints differing from design assumptions.
3.2.1.1
Dead loads should be assumed in design as specified in IS 875 (Part 1).
3.2.1.2
Imposed loads for different types of occupancy and function of structures shall be taken as recommended in IS 875 (Part 2). Imposed loads arising
from equipment, such as cranes and machines should be assumed in design as per manufacturers/suppliers data (see 3.5.4). Snow load shall be taken as per IS 875 (Part 4).
3.2.1.3
Wind loads on structures shall be taken as per the recommendations of IS 875 (Part 3).
3.2.1.4
Earthquake loads shall be assumed as per the recommendations of IS 1893 (Part 1).
3.2.1.5
The erection loads and temperature effects shall be considered as specified in 3.3 and 3.4 respectively.
