Estimate structural engineering loads (permanent and variable) per square meter based on NBR 6120 standards.

3 tools Official Updated Jun 28, 2026 Official Vinkius Partner

The Structural Load Calculator is an essential tool for preliminary structural engineering assessments. It allows users to retrieve standardized load constants from the NBR 6120 standard and perform precise calculations for building components. Using retrieve_load_constants, you can find the permanent and variable loads for specific usage types like residential, commercial, garage, or rooftop. The calculate_floor_load tool enables detailed breakdown of loads for a single floor based on its area in square meters. Finally, aggregate_foundation_lag (via aggregate_foundation_load) allows you to sum all floor loads and apply a multiplier to estimate the total cumulative load transferred to the building's foundation.

What is the permanent and variable load for a residential area?

For a residential usage type, the permanent load is 400 kg/m² and the variable load is 150 kg/m².

Calculate the total load for a 200 square meter commercial floor.

For a 200 m² commercial area, the total floor load is 120,000 kg (80,000 kg permanent and 40,000 kg variable).

Estimate the foundation load for a building with two floors: one residential (100m²) and one garage (150m²).

The cumulative building load is 122,500 kg. With a standard foundation self-weight multiplier of 1.0, the estimated total load on the foundation is 122,500 kg.

The calculator uses the hardcoded load constants derived from the NBR 6120 standard for various usage types.
