đTypes of Loads on Structures
đIn civil engineering, loads are forces or other actions that cause stresses, deformations, or displacements in structures. Loads can be classified into:
1ď¸âŁ Dead Load (DL):
Permanent/static load.
Includes weight of structural elements: beams, columns, slabs, walls, etc.
Example: Self-weight of concrete slab.
2ď¸âŁ Live Load (LL):
Temporary or movable load.
Includes people, furniture, vehicles, equipment, snow, etc.
Example: People walking inside a building.
3ď¸âŁ Wind Load (WL):
Horizontal load due to wind pressure.
Important for tall buildings, towers, bridges.
4ď¸âŁ Seismic Load (Earthquake Load):
Due to ground motion during earthquakes.
Horizontal and vertical components.
5ď¸âŁ Snow Load:
Weight of accumulated snow on structures.
Depends on location and climate.
6ď¸âŁ Thermal Load:
Caused by temperature changes leading to expansion or contraction of materials.
