How to design the library corridor load, is it the same as the general floor load? The teacher said that the corridor should have a ceiling. I'm a little confused. Please give me some advice. Thank you.
The floor load is divided into dead load and live load, and the corridor of the library should be a fire escape. According to Article 4. 1. 1 of the Dutch Code, the live load should be 3.5KN/m2. According to the use function, the general floor load can be obtained by looking up the table according to the requirements of Dutch code.
Ceiling is a secondary decoration load, which can be included in the dead load for strength checking together with the floor decoration load. Generally take 0.2 ~ 0.5 kn/m2; If the ceiling is special, it needs to be calculated according to the actual weight.
