Types of loads

Which are the types of loads and how they affected on the building are explained in details in this PPT.Drop the comment for any enquiry or questions.

2. INTRODUCTION What are the loads? -Simply , loads are some sort of force. Major types of loads: 1.Dead loads. (red arrow) - Exerted by the weight of the element of the structure. 2.Live loads. (rest arrow ) - Exerted by any temporary force acting on the structure Loads in simple structure

3. DEAD LOADS Dead Loads are those loads which are considered to act permanently; they are "dead," stationary, and unable to be removed . The self-weight of the structural members normally provides the largest portion of the dead load of a building. Exerted by the weight of the element of the structure

5. Live Loads are not permanent and can change in magnitude. They include items found within a building LIVE LOADS All the arrows indicate the live loads unless the red one

6. LIVE LOADS WIND LOAD:- Wind load The wind's relatively large projected areas can develop substantial forces in the structure.

7. LIVE LOADS A covered bridge destroyed by wind WIND LOAD:

8. Earthquake loads are another lateral live load . They are very complex, uncertain, and potentially more damaging than wind loads. LIVE LOADS EARTHQUAKE LOADS: Mass tends to remain in its original position, deformation due to sudden ground moving take place at the base

9. LIVE LOADS Buildings have been demolished by the earthquake loads, that happened because it have not been designed to deal with these loads. The earthquake was in Qamm in Iran. EARTHQUAKE LOADS:

10. HYDROSTATIC AND SOIL PRESSURE When building a wall, whether it is a basement wall or an outdoor retaining wall, it is necessary to make it strong enough to resist the pressure differential from the soil side to the open side. This pressure will consist of two elements : Soil Pressure, which is a function of the soil depth and type. Hydrostatic pressure, which will be simply the depth of the wall times the density of water

11. LOAD COMBINATION Designing steel or concrete structures involves considering combinations of load; therefore, most structural engineers are quite familiar with assessing the probability of various load combinations . As an example, it is unlikely that any bridge will need to resist full design vehicle load, design wind load, and the structure's self-weight simultaneously. The load combination is clear in this figure, we can see the dead load and the live load including its kinds like weight of furniture and people, wind load and snow loads.

12. POINT LOAD OR CONCENTRATED LOAD A B W1 W2 The load concentrated at one point is called point load. Unit of point load is N or kN. e.g. 20kN,100N etc. W1 and W2 are point loads.

13. UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LOAD A B Load uniformly distributed on certain length of a beam is called uniformly distributed load. It is written as u.d.l . It is shown by w. Unit of u.d.l . is kN /m or N/m.

14. UNIFORMLY VARYING LOAD This type of load gradually increase or decrease on the length of the beam. It is also called triangular load.
