Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The n…

Textbook Question

Chapter 5, Problem 5.2QPP

Why would the AASHTO separate structural dead loads from wearing surface dead loads and use different load factors for each, whereas ASCE 7 has only one category for dead loads?

In accordance to NSCP 2010, the calculation of the required strength U shall be at least equal to the effects of the factored loads below where the effects of one or more loads not acting simultaneously shall be investigated: U=14 (D) U=12 (D) +1.6 (L) + 0.8 (W) U=12 (D) +1.0 (E) +1.0 (L) U=0.9 D+1.6 W Results from elastic analysis of a concrete beam yields the following values of un-factored (service) moments: Dead load moment = 50 kN-m Live load moment = 80 kN-m Wind load moment = 60 kN-m Earthquake load moment = 100 kN-m Determine the value of the factored moment (kN-m) that will be used in designing the member.

What are the two main types of Structural Loads? Describe each briefly.

. How do dead loads influence the design of digital twins in building performance?
