Consider movable objects in a structure.
What are dead loads?
Remember the concept of permanent weight.
True or False: Live loads are fixed and unchanging.
Think about what happens when a building is occupied.
Consider a two-story building designed in a region with heavy snow. Calculate the snow load if the area of the roof is 400 m² and the expected snow load is 1.5 kN/m².
Remember the relationship between area and load.
Design a bridge that can withstand dynamic live loads of 10 kN/m² and static dead loads of 30 kN/m². What will be your safety factor if the maximum expected load is 60 kN/m²?
Factor in all load types!
