How to Define Dead Load and Live Load of a 10 Storey Residential Building in ETABS as per BNBC 2020

Описание: In this video, we explain how to define Dead Load and Live Load 0 Storey Residential Building in ETABS according to BNBC 2020.
This tutorial is essential for civil and structural engineers, students, and ETABS beginners working on RCC building analysis and design in Bangladesh.

🔹 Dead Load (DL) – As per BNBC 2020

Dead Load includes all permanent loads that remain constant throughout the life of the structure, such as:

Self-weight of beams, columns, slabs, and walls

Floor finishes, plaster, and waterproofing

Permanent partitions and fixed equipment

In ETABS, dead load is defined by enabling self-weight multiplier = 1.0 and assigning additional dead loads as required.

🔹 Live Load (LL) – As per BNBC 2020

Live Load refers to temporary or movable loads that may vary in magnitude and position, including:

Occupants

Furniture

Movable partitions

Stored materials

Live loads are assigned in ETABS based on building occupancy (residential, office, commercial, etc.) following BNBC 2020 recommended values.
