What is max height of post and beam construction?
The maximum height depends on many factors like the snow load, the wind load, the size of the building, etc. Typically residential post and beam frames can be three stories or more. Commercial frames can go 60 or 70 feet or higher.
What size laminated timber beam is needed for a 23 foot clear span under a 15 foot roof in between load bearing walls?
38 feet longIt is not possible to give a definite answer without more detail. The construction and type of roof will determine the load (weight) bearing on the beam, and factors such as wind load and earthquake load, and the way the roof bears on the beam (truss/point load/distributed load) will all affect the sizing.
Which is a horizontal structural member in a building that carries a load?
column
What is Shuttering in Construction?
Shuttering is a temporary structure created to hold concrete which is poured in it to make the Roofs and Concreting Walls of Building Structures.

construction joints
What are structural timbers?
Structural timbers are those timbers used in the construction of a building that are "load bearing". They are the timbers placed under stress by and that support the weight of the building.
Why is there a need to determine the properties of a particular material to be used in construction?
If you are building a load bearing structure you have to know how much load it will bear. If you are building a water proof structure such as a roof, you have to know if the material is actually water proof. And so forth.
Define moment of load?
THE PRODUCT OF LOAD AND LOAD ARM IS CALLED MOMENT OF LOAD.
What is the Purpose of foundation in building construction?
The purpose of a foundation is to distribute the load from the superstructure to the soil below so that the structure is safe and can with stand the loads - dead load,wind load, live load and seismic loads. The settlements should also be with in accepted limits.
What does loadbearing mean?
Mostly used in building construction. The roof load is carried thru critical points in your home for example to the foundation structure
What is the dead load and a live load and a dynamic load in a building?
Dead load is the total load of all of the components of the building that generally do not change over time, such as the steel columns, concrete floors, bricks, roofing material etc. Live load is the sum of the dead load plus the "live" occupants and temporary loads, such as staff in the building, desks, chairs, etc. Things that are contained in the building but do not make up its' construction. Dynamic load is loading which changes over time, such as wind pressure on the walls, snow loading on the roof, and even earthquake loads.
Define - No load bearing wall?
A wall bearing no load.

A man with a load jumps from a high building. What will be the load experienced by him?
What is a dead load in building construction?
An influence line is used to show the effect of a dead load. This data normally manifests in a graphical display. Dead loads are permanently on the structure. The weight of the structure, or other similar elements is called a dead load.
Why soil survey should be carried out before construction takes place?
The surveys should take place before the construction to know that whether the soil is hard enough or stable enough to take the load of construction. This survey is important so that the house or the building do not sink in.
