What is Load -
Load can be defined as the forces that cause tension, distortion, or acceleration. These weights apply to a structure or its components that cause stress or displacement. There are different types of structural loads like - dead load, live load, etc. You have need to consider during the design process.
Types of Load -
- Dead Load
- Live Load
- Wind Load
- Snow Load
- Earthquack Load
- Imposed Load
Dead Load -
Dead loads, that is the permanent or stationary loads, are those that remain relatively constant over time and involve, for example, the weight of the structural elements of a building, such as beams, some fixed assesories, walls, roofs, and structural floor components.
Live Load -
The live load can be caused by adding, removing, or moving weights on a structure. This includes people walking on the surface and things that can be carried or moved. for example, people, Furniture, Vehicles, Weight of the books in library.
Wind Load -
Wind loads apply randomly moving loads. The intensity of air pressure on the surface of a structure depends on the velocity of the air, the air density, the orientation of the structure, the area of the contact surface, and the size of the structure.
Snow Load -
Snow load is the downward force on a roof of the building by the weight of accumulated snow and ice. The roof or the entire structure can fail if the snow load exceeds the weight of the building was designed to be shouldered. Or if the building was completely designed or constructed.
Earthquake Load -
The Earthquake Load is a 'dynamic load', and These load also called 'static loads' Which means it begins about the vibration of structures. Other loads such as dead, Live, And snow loads generally act on structures very slowly and do not cause other rapid movements and vibrations.
Emposed Load -
The loads are temporary, variable, or dynamic loads that act on a structure. The magnitude of these loads is usually related to the occupancy of the place or building where the loads are placed. For example, the load imposed in an industrial facility will be different from the load of a residential building.
