2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
Define vertical loads.
Think about what forces act on a building.
What are dead loads?
Consider components that don't change over time.
What are vertical loads?
What direction do these loads act?
True or False: Dead loads are temporary.
Consider whether these loads fluctuate.
A building has a dead load of 50 kN/m and a live load of 30 kN/m. What is the total vertical load per meter?
Add both loads together to find the total.
A structural frame has vertical loads applied at different floors with different inflection points. Calculate the reactions at the base if the first floor has a live load of 20 kN and the second floor has a dead load of 15 kN.
Consider the types of loads acting at each level and sum them up.
