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.

- Calculate the active earth pressure (exerted by the supported soil mass on the right) against the 10-meter-long, dense and smooth sheet pile wall shown in Figure E2:1. The ground surface is loaded with heavy construction machinery applying a pressure of q = 10.0 kPa. Other data is according to the figure.Assume the sheet pile moves sufficiently to the left to reach active failure conditions behind it, and passive failure conditions develop in the soil mass below the excavation bottom. Will the sheet pile wall hold without rain? (Calculate the forces.) Will the sheet pile wall hold if it rains? (Assume water-filled cracks.) If the sheet pile does not hold in any of the above cases – how deep would it need to be embedded in order to hold?

- A traffic signal has a 60-second cycle length (Red time + Green time). For the travel direction of interest, the red and green times are 30 seconds each, the arrival rate is constant at 20 [veh/min] and the saturation flow (i.e., the departure rate) is 1 [veh/sec]. a. Calculate the average delay (for all vehicles) for the travel direction of interest. b. Assume a work zone on the street downstream of the intersection so that only 25 [veh/min] (in the direction of interest) can pass. Calculate the average delay caused by the work zone to a vehicle leaving the intersection. Assume that the queue at the work zone never backs- up into the intersection. c. Discuss qualitatively the implications of queue spillback from the work zone on the delay of the system.
