Concept explainers
Explain about dead load, live load, impact load, wind load, and snow load.

Explanation of Solution
Dead load: It refers to loads that generally doesn’t change over time, like weights of materials and components of the structure such as flooring material, framing, roofing material and the weights of the service equipment like plumbing, HVAC, etc.
Live loads: It refers to loads that can change over time, like when people walking around a building or movable objects (moving flower pot on a floor).
Impact load: It is the load experienced by a structure when a moving object is suddenly stopped by the structure (hitting or falling one object on another).
Wind load: It is the load applied by speed of the wind and its air density against a building that creates a negative pressure on the leeward side and positive pressure on the windward side. The Eiffel Tower has a structure that was designed to resist a wind load.
Snow load: It is the downward force acting on a building roof due to the weight of the accumulated ice and snow. The entire structure can fail if the snow load exceeds the building weight, due to the poor design structure.
Conclusion:
Hence, the explanation for dead load, live load, impact load, wind load, and snow load are explained.

Beginning at room temperature (T = 20oC), the temperature isdecreased until the concrete develops internal tensile stress that may results in crack (as shown inthe figure on the right below). This is due to the thermal shrinkage of the concrete and strongadhesion between the concrete and the walls of the container. D = 100 mmDetermine the temperature at which the concrete develops a tensile crack.Hint: Assume that the concrete remains linearly elastic until failure.Information about concrete:E = 30 GPa (Young’s Modulus)ν = 0.2 (Poisson’s Ratio)α = 12 ·10-6mm/mm/ oC (Coefficient of thermal expansion)(σt)max = 3 MPa (tensile strength)arrow_forward
