Simply stated, it is a factor that will increase the loading. There are numerous types of load factors. Dead, Live, Roof live, Snow, Wind, Seismic, etc.
There are also several different combos, depending on which method you are using (LRFD or ASD). The highest combo is used to determine your ultimate load, qu.

What is a structural collaspse?
Its spelled as :structural collapseStructural failure refers to loss of the load-carrying capacity of a component or member within a structure or of the structure itself....
What factor does not affect stream size and speed?
load
How is plant load factor in solar power plants?
Plant load is a factor in every energy plant. In the case of solar power plants, the plant load factor is at an average of 75%. This means 25% of the time, optimum operation is not utilized. This number has to be compared with start up costs, operating costs and income generated to determine the feasibility of conversion to solar energy.
How do you calculate safe working load of a ship's bollard?
SWL = Ultimate (Breaking) Strength/Design (Safety) Factor Usually the safety factor used in lifting equipment is 5:1. Example: If you are using a 0.5" Improved Plow Wire Rope the ultimate strength is 11.5 tons. SWL = 11.5/5 = 2.3 tons The safety factor should go higher if there is possibility of injury or death. Example: Elevators use a 20:1 safety factor.
What is pns steel?
plate and structural steel
What is limit load factor in aviation?
the maximum load factor without structural damage to the aircraft. Load factor = 1 / (cos (angle of turn))
What does it mean to have structural integrity?
In buiding, structural integrity means the stucture can support the weight of the load and hold together under the load. For example, if a building has structural integrity, the walls can support the load of the rafters and roof.
Will a load-bearing wall cause structeral damage?
A load-bearing wall itself will not cause structural damage. However, if a load-bearing wall is removed without structural replacement, yes structural damage will occur.
What is allowable structural capacity of pile in pile load test?
allowable structural capacity
What is the other name of plant factor in load forecasting?
Load Factor
Why the power factor improves with the load?
Power factor doesn't necessarily 'improve with the load', but it is determined by the load.
What has the author William T Segui written?

Segui has written: 'Computer programs for the solution of systems of linear algebraic equations' -- subject(s): Algebras, Linear, Data processing, Equations, Linear Algebras 'Steel Design' 'Steel design' -- subject(s): Textbooks, Iron and steel Building, Structural Steel, Load factor design 'LRFD steel design' -- subject(s): Building, Iron and steel, Iron and steel Building, Load factor design, Steel, Structural, Structural Steel
Why power factor can not be unity?
Power factor can be unity. If the load is purely resistive, then the load current and supply voltage are in phase, and the load will have unity power factor.
How many load factor equal to 1amp?
Load factor and current are not directly related
What power plant has high load factor?
Diesel Engine has high load factor
What is loss load factor?
A load loss factor, LLF,not loss load factor,Êis a calculation used by electrical utility companies to measure energy loss.Ê Its the ratio of average load loss to peak load loss.
How improve load factor?
Ratio of Average load to Maximum demand for a given period (for a day, month or year) is termed as Load factor or Plant Load Factor (PLF). Load Factor = Avg. Load*24/Max Demand*24 ......... For a Day. This Load factor is very important in the sense of calculating the overall generation cost. It is always less than 1. Higher the LOAD FACTOR of a power station,lesser the overall per unit generation cost of the power station.
