Define what a dead load is.
Think about the parts of the structure that don't change.
What is a concentrated load?
Relate it to the weight of a single person standing on the floor.
Which code specifies minimum design loads for structures?
Look for codes focusing on design loads.
True or False: Dead loads include temporary fixtures.
Consider which loads change over time.
A new three-story building's total dead load is calculated as 500 kN. If the building is anticipated to experience maximum live loads of 200 kN, what are the total forces acting on the structure?
Add dead and live loads together for the total force.
Discuss how varying environmental loads could necessitate designing a different structural system for buildings in an earthquake-prone area compared to a wind-heavy zone.
Consider how the structure reacts to different types of environmental challenges.
