Hi. I am doing a project for calculation of steel metal grating. I have to do strength analysis of steel metal grating having uniformly distributed load of 400kg/m2 and point load of 80 kg. Which eurocode standards i should follow apart from 1993-1-1 for finding appropriate load factors for this case. I will do my analysis on workbench.

You are expected to look EN 1990 Eurocode. Basis of structural design. Typical comb. and load factors are
1.35Gk + 1.5Qk

You can download old versions free of charge , since law resource.

Thank you for your response i can not find 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk in eurocode 1990. Can you give the chapter number in which i can look for these values and what its for
 
Forget Eurocode. Design using ASD with the loads stated. Use the AISC manual as "code"
It is a grating frame, not a skyscraper.

Pls look EQ (6.10a)

And Normative Table A1.2(A) - Design values of actions

In case of accidental actions the load factors are different.
