These loads shall be applicable for the design of buildings and structures in conformance with the general design requirements provided in Chapter 1. 2.1.2 LIMITATIONS Provisions of this chapter shall generally be applied to majority of buildings and other structures covered in this code subject to normally expected loading conditions. For those buildings and structures having unusual geometrical shapes, response characteristics or site locations, or for those subject to special loading including tornadoes, special dynamic or hydrodynamic loads etc., site-specific or case-specific data or analysis may be required to determine the design loads on them. In such cases, and all other cases for which loads are not specified in this chapter, loading information may be obtained from reliable references or specialist advice may be sought. However, such loads shall be applied in compliance with the provisions of other parts or sections of this Code. 2.2 DEAD LOADS 2.2.1 GENERAL The minimum design dead load for buildings and portions thereof shall be determined in accordance with the provisions of this section. In addition, design of the overall structure and its primary load-resisting systems shall conform to the general design provisions given in Chapter 1. 2.2.2 DEFINITION Dead Load is the vertical load due to the weight of permanent structural and non-structural components and attachments of a building such as walls, floors, ceilings, permanent partitions and fixed service equipment etc. 2.2.3 ASSESSMENT OF DEAD LOAD Dead load for a structural member shall be assessed based on the forces due to : • weight of the member itself, • weight of all materials of construction incorporated into the building to be supported permanently by the member, • weight of permanent partitions, • weight of fixed service equipment, and • net effect of prestressing.
