DEAR ALL,
Please advise whether plate load can be considerd along with other gravity loads for creation of EUDL and assigned to GLD.parameter
2. Self weight consists of the total weight of structure. My view is that only a portion of selfweight meaning thereby that excluding the weight of vertical members i.e. columns should be assigned to GLD parameter under IS13920 because the selfweight of columns has nothing to contribute to the EUDL.
I would like to be enlightened by the Senior members whether my perception is in order or it requires to be further fine tuned.

2nd part of the question is not answered. Please.
Hi,
If the Load case used in the GLD parameter contains selfweight- SELFWEIGHT Y -1 command. While calculating Equivalent UDL on the beams(flexural members), only the selfweight of the beam is considered only not the column.
