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.

Please perform the tip capacity calculation two ways: For the first approach, assume that the total vertical stress at the pile tip is balanced by the weight of the pile. For the second approach, assume that the total vertical stress at the pile tip is not balanced by the weight of the pile (which means you need to include the vertical total stress term). Please compare your answers from these two analyses, examine some of your intermediate-stage calculation results such as the total overburden stress at the pile tip relative to the weight of the pile, and discuss whether or not the commonly used assumption about the total vertical stress at the pile tip is a…arrow_forward
