Dead and Live Load Summary per ASCE 7-22

Technical NotesOpen StructSuite

Example

A two-story wood-frame building has roof dead 15 psf, floor dead 12 psf, exterior wall 10 psf, roof live 20 psf, floor live 40 psf. Summarize loads for permit and design. ASCE 7-22 §2.2 ASD combinations govern. Load summary is required for calculation packages.

How StructSuite solves this

StructSuite's free structural design software. Dead and Live Loads module: enter area and unit loads for each component (roof, floor, walls). Assign load types (D, L, Lr, S, W, E per ASCE 7). StructSuite computes total loads and presents combinations per ASCE 7-22 §2.2. Output feeds beam, column, shear wall, and foundation modules.

Live design (pre-filled)

The module below is under development. When available, it will display pre-filled example data (read-only).
