2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define axial load in your own words.
Think about how different forces might interact with a column.
What is the primary difference between dead load and live load?
Consider examples of furniture versus the weight of the structure.
What symbolizes the total resistance capacity of a building's column?
Think about the definition we covered in class.
True or False: Live loads remain constant throughout a structure's lifespan.
Recall the examples we discussed about variable occupancy.
A building has columns subjected to varying loads: Dead 800 kN, Live 600 kN, Wind 200 kN. Calculate the ultimate load considering the maximum potential wind impact.
Pay attention to the weight of the wind load; could it be multiplied differently?
Analyze a scenario where a column must carry multiple load combinations. If the dead load reduces due to structural adjustment, how should the calculated loads be adapted?
Reflect on how safety factors and principles must still be upheld.
