After designing the biometric skyscraper, the design was entered into the Multiframe structural program to analyzed and study loads and determine structural member sizing. We based our load sizing off of the IBC section 16. The ground floor, being shopping and gathering, was rated at 100 pounds per square foot for live load. The terraces, bridges and walkways were also rated 100 psf. The office levels we rated at 75 psf to account for 80 psf for corridors and 70 psf for office space.
Our first iteration structural model in Multiframe had a Total Dead Load of 28545.9 Kips.
Non-Structural Dead Load = 16859.81 Kips
Structural Dead Load = 8946.2 Kips
Enclosure Load =2739.94 Kips
Determining seismic loading involved a factor of 2 from the total dead load multiplied by 20% of gravity to get an acceleration of 144 that we entered into Multiframe.
