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.
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.
Is the roof an imposed load of a building?
No, it is a dead load
What are the two types of floor load a building is subjected to?
dead load and live load dead load is the load of weight that is on the floor that is part of the construction of the house live load is the weight you add to it as in people furniture etc,
How do you calculate stress due to dynamic load?
stress is the ratio between the load and area
How would you calculate a dead weight load on a structure if you test it with a hydraulic press and the press gauge reads 1000 psi and the contact area on the structure is 2 sq in?
The dead weight load can be calculated by multiplying the pressure (1000 psi) by the contact area (2 sq in). In this case, the load would be 2000 pounds.
What load refers to the weight of a structure and any stationary equipment attached to it?
working load
What is a deadload of a bridge?
The dead load of a bridge is the weight of the structure itself. Anything permanently attached to the structure is part of its dead load- including columns, beams, nut, and bolts

What is the difference between a dead load and a live load?

Is carpet live load or dead load?
I would consider carpet to be a dead load. Carpeting typically doesn't move during the life of the structure. If it did it would be considered a live load similar to people, partitions and walls (walls can be moved during the life of a structure), bookcases, etc...
What is a dead and live load of a bridge.?
In engineering terms, dead load refers to the unchanging weight of a structure itself, plus any other load that may permanently be a part of the structure. On a bridge, for example, the main dead load would be the weight of bridge, and there would also be the weight of the abutments and perhaps a tollbooth.
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.
What load is caused by the force of gravity?
The load caused by the force of gravity is known as dead load. Dead load is the weight of all permanent structural elements of a building or structure, such as walls, floors, and roofs, that is always present and does not change.
What is Definition of Life load for roof?
It is a "LIVE LOAD" which is the weight of snow for which a roof is designed for. It is usually 40 lbs. per square foot. Al dead load is the weight of the roof structure itself.
