Bases for Design of Structures - Actions due to the Self-Weight of Structures, Non-Structural Elements, and Stored Materials - Density
Also Known As:
ISO 9194:1987 is a standard that provides a basis for designing structures by considering the actions resulting from the self-weight of structures, non-structural elements, and stored materials. It specifies the numerical values of the densities of these elements, which are used to determine the corresponding actions.
The standard outlines that these actions are determined by multiplying the densities by the gravitational acceleration and the actual volume. This calculation method allows for the accurate estimation of the impact of self-weight on the structural integrity of a building or other construction.
Additionally, the standard also accounts for the actions caused by the weight of the earth that is placed on structures. These actions are calculated in a similar manner, taking into consideration the density and volume of the earth.
By providing the necessary values and calculation methodologies, ISO 9194:1987 ensures that the self-weight actions on structures, non-structural elements, and stored materials are properly accounted for in the design process, thereby enhancing the safety and reliability of constructed entities.
