Can you post your structural framing?

As the project is going through the preliminary design phase, and no detailed structural analysis has been carried out yet, so therefore i am unable to provide you with the structural framing plan at the moment. The architectural plans were attached just to facilitate further in this regard about how to make certain assumptions for structural components on the plan. 

Please share the structural framing plan of the house that shows the location of beams/ walls and columns(if any).

The load path is generally:

Roof or Floor -> Beams or Walls -> Foundation.

For masonry, lower story walls have more load the higher story for obvious reasons.

Surely, i missed out with few of the Architectural plans needed for the calculation of the load path. I have modified my post above with the plans added to the section attached. Mostly, double brick walls are used for exterior  with interior walls mostly made up of gyprock.  Dimensions used above are in mm.

Please also recommend some resource/ reference, that would be quite helpful in understanding the load behaviour.

Regards

Hey Everyone, 

Could you please help me out in calculating the load path from roof to footing for the section attached. 

Regards,

Omar

AoA, everyone. I am currently studying Design of Membrane structures using linear stress analysis. Some of the concepts are a bit hard to understand as the design often involves the use of finite element method and Mohr Circle concepts and theories.Please recommend any books specifically for this design just to consolidate my understanding about the topic. Thank you!! 

I am attaching a pdf file just to let u know all, what i am looking for.
