3 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define dead loads and live loads.
Think about the differences in weight stability.
What kind of loads do snow and rain represent?
Relate to weather and natural phenomena.
What are dead loads?
Consider the weight of the structure itself.
True or False: Live loads change based on the use of the building.
Think about furniture and occupants.
A new office building has a total dead load of 150 kN and a live load of 60 kN. If a wind load is forecasted to exert an additional 25 kN, what is the total load on the structure?
Add up all the loads acting on the structure.
Consider a building site prone to heavy snowfall. If the snow load is estimated at 2 kN/m² and the roof area is 100 m², calculate the total snow load on the roof.
Think of it as multiplying the load by the area it covers.
