Note:
Structural steel checks are based on IS 800:2007 - General Construction In Steel - Code
of Practice - Limit state method unless otherwise noted.

Design loads:

Load factor
The Megaload tower system will be checked with the limit state design method according to
IS800:2007. The servicibility criteria will be used for checking the deflection capacity
and the strength criteria will be used to check the structural strength of the tower lift
system.
The load factor are as follows:

Servicibility criteria LFserv 1.00

Strength criteria LFst 1.50

Load on lifting beam type-1

The load on the liting beam is taken as per that provided by client, kinldy refer the
