1.2 DL+1.2 LL+1.2 EQ = DESIGN MOMENT.
1.2*50 + 1.2*80 + 1.2*180 = DESIGN MOMENT.

60+96+216 = DESIGN MOMENT.
DESIGN MOMENT = 372.

What about wind load?

DileepBarnwal said:   1 decade ago
Design moment = maximum of 1.2(DL + LL + EQ/WL).

Then why wind load is given when it is optional.

Saajan said:   10 years ago
Wind load is given because this question is for GATE examination. Just for the sole purpose of creating confusion.

@Mr. Anurag.

If there is seismic wave then the effect of wind is neglected, it is not optional.

Vaibhav said:   8 years ago
Is it every time possible that, wind load is always less than earthquake load?

Arya said:   8 years ago
Assumed as wind and earthquake forces will never act together, so seismic only considered.

TAPASH PAUL said:   8 years ago
Here, the seismic load is maximum w.r.t wind load, so the seismic load is considered.

Shakil alwar said:   8 years ago
Wind load and earthquake load not consider together.
