TYPES OF LOADS ON STRUCTURE

Description:

An article about the different types of loads. The loads are broadly classified as vertical loads, horizontal loads and longitudinal loads. The vertical loads consist of dead load, live load and impact load. The horizontal loads comprises of wind load and earthquake load. The longitudinal loads i.e. tractive and braking forces are considered in special case of design of bridges, gantry girders etc.

Chapter 3 - D: Dead Loads

Description:

An article about loads. A 'load' is any type of force exerted on an object, which may be in the form of an "unrevealed weight" (gravitational force), a pressure, or anything that stresses the object in question. In mechanical and structural engineering, live loads and dead loads are two kinds of forces exerted on an object. The concepts are used especially where analysis of real-world objects is required.
