The anticipated load levels due to self weight, contents and users, snow and wind are called characteristic loads.

Buildings will be subject to loads from various sources. The principal ones can be classified as dead load, imposed load and wind load, as described below. In some cases structures may be subject to other loads, such as those due to earthquakes or pressures from retained material. The expected maximum magnitude of each is referred to as the characteristic load.

Does a properly terminated load affects the standing wave ratio?

Sure. If the line is properly terminated ... in a load equal to its characteristic impedance ... then the standing wave ratio on the line is 1.0 . The SWR is the direct result of the nature of the load.


What is a characteristic of a structural frame?

A characteristic of a structural frame is that it provides support and stability to a building or structure. It helps distribute the load evenly and efficiently to the foundation, ensuring the integrity and strength of the overall structure.

What is load line concept?

A load line is used in graphical analysis of nonlinear electronic circuits, representing the constraint other parts of the circuit place on a non-linear device, like a diode or transistor. It is usually drawn on a graph of the current vs the voltage in the nonlinear device, called the device's characteristic curve. A load line, usually a straight line, represents the response of a linear circuit connected to the nonlinear device in question. The operating point(s) of the circuit are the points where the characteristic curve and the load line intersect; at these points the current and voltage parameters of both parts of the circuit match


How do you calculate Universal Distributed Load?

Hi, I am only an undergrad civil engineer so feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but I will try to help! Say we are dealing here with a steel beam, spanning across a ceiling, and the load applied to it is the floor above. Let's presume it is supporting 2 loads, the concrete slab above it (dead load) and the service load (live load), i.e. people walking over the floor and hence varying. We need to estimate the area of floor the beam is supporting, so obviously this will be in m^2, and we also need to depth. We also need the characteristic service load for our type of building, and this can be found in a book such as the Metric Handbook (a must have for engineers!!) We then take the total area value to British Standards tables, which will give us a self weight of the concrete for a certain depth and a certain characteristic service load. It will also tell us the effective span of the floor. We then add together the dead load and live load, for the total load on the beam, so: applied load = (total area x concrete self weight) + (total area x characteristic service load) This should give you quite a large value with real buildings. UDLs are measured in N/m or kN/m, and so finally we just need to divide the total load by the span of the beam in metres. Also, not all of the load will be on the beam, some will be applied to the supporting structures, so you can assume that only somewhere around half of the final load is the UDL over the span of the beam. Hope this helps, Luke

If the individual voltage of each load in a parallel circuit are equal to?

In a parallel circuit, the voltage across each load is equal to the source voltage. This means that if multiple devices are connected in parallel, each device experiences the same voltage. Consequently, regardless of the resistance of each load, they all receive the same voltage supply from the circuit. This characteristic allows devices to operate independently of each other.

What is the difference between flexible and rigid pavements?

Flexible pavement: Are those pavements which reflect the deformation of subgrade and the subsequent layers to the surface. Rigid pavement: The rigid characteristic of the pavement are associated with rigidity or flexural strength or slab action so the load is distributed over a wide area of subgrade soil.


Bear the load or bare the load?

Bear the load. Bare the load would be to uncover the load...
