2 cards from this section. Quick, good the night before a test.
What is a dead load?
Think about what contributes to the structure's own weight.
What varies by geography and roof pitch?
Consider environmental factors affecting buildings.
What type of load does the weight of walls represent?
Consider what is permanent versus variable in a building.
True or False: Live loads are fixed and do not change.
Think about how people and furniture move.
A column supports a total dead load of 1200 kips and a live load initially measured at 900 kips, which is reduced by 15% due to occupancy considerations. Calculate the net load on the column.
Remember to apply the reduction to the live load first.
Consider a building in a snowy region with an expected snow load of 40 psf. Calculate the snow load if the roof area is 2000 square feet and discuss why it is crucial to consider roof pitch in real-life scenarios.
Think about how roofs hold snow and how design adjustments can mitigate risks.
