What is a dead load?
Think about what stays constant in the structure.
Give an example of a live load.
Consider what might change in a building.
What constitutes a dead load?
Consider what remains in place regardless of usage.
True or False: Live loads are variable and can change per use of the structure.
Recall the difference between live loads and dead loads.
A building’s roof is designed for a dead load of 15,000 N and a variable live load of up to 5,000 N in peak usage. During a snowstorm, the snow adds 10,000 N total. Calculate the total load intensity on a roof area of 120 m².
Make sure to add all load components before dividing by area.
A structure is built in an area prone to heavy winds. If the design incorporates wind loads of 8,000 N and interacts with a total dead load of 12,000 N and a live load of 6,000 N, what's the total intensity across a 100 m² area?
Remember to account for each type of load impacting your final density.
