2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define dead load and give an example.
Think about what remains static in a structure.
What is the formula for calculating ultimate load?
Consider both dead and live loads in your answer.
What is included in the dead load?
Consider everything that is fixed in place.
Is it true that live loads can vary over time?
Think about how people or objects may come and go.
A building design includes two floors. The first floor has a specified dead load of 400kN and a live load of 500kN. The second floor has a dead load of 300kN and a live load of 600kN. Calculate the ultimate load for each floor and the total ultimate load.
Use load combinations correctly for each floor.
Assume a scenario where additional live loading occurs, such as a concert crowd. If normal live loading is 2kN/m2 and events increase it to 8kN/m2, calculate the impact this would have on the ultimate load.
Consider how changing environments can alter your calculations.
