Superimposed loadings include for superimposed dead load ( such as carpet, partitions, ceilings etc) as well as Live Loads.
An allowance of 0.5kPa has been included within the tables for superimposed Dead Loads. Where loadings greater than than this is present within a building floor, the difference should be subtracted from the available live load presented in the manual. For example, if a superimposed dead load of 1.0 kPa is present, along with an associated live load of 4.0kPa then the 5.0kPa live load tables must be used :
11.2 scope of manual - fire resistance calculation of tray flooring
11.6 mezzanines as intermediate floors (model type 4)
11.7 compliance with fire resistance requirements
11.8 - 30 minute fire rated composite floor
11.9 positive reinforced fire rated slabs
11.10 negatively reinforced fire rated slabs
11.11 negative reinforcement calculation
11.12 “slab specification” with regard to negative reinforcement calculation
11.13 loadings used in negative reinforcement tables
11.14 live loadings / fire ratings used
11.15 negative reinforcement tables
