How do you calculate working load limit?
There are several ways to calculate working load limit. One of these includes Minimum Breaking Load (MBL) divided by Working Load Limit (WLL) equals Working Load Limit (WLL).
What is a live load bridge?
a live load bridge is a truck or a weight that after the bridge is made then you put the weight on the bridge and see if it holds!
What is the load of a bridge?
The load of a bridge is the amount of weight that can be distributed throughout the bridge without collapsing. Engineers take into effect, wind, rain, and earthquakes when calculating the load.
How do you get the aggregate working load limit for a commercial motor vehicles?
I've never heard of an aggregate working load limit for a vehicle. The only place that term is used in the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Reglations is in the load securement section. If that is what you meant, it's pretty simple. Most tiedowns and chains should be marked with their Working Load Limit. If they are, you simply add them up. Five synthetic straps with Load Limits of 7,000 pounds each equals an aggregate working load limit of 35,000 pounds. In most cases, your aggregate working load limit must be at least 50% of the total weight of what you are carrying. In this case, these 5 tiedowns' load limit would be enough for something weighing 70,000 pounds. If you don't know what the Load Limits are, you can go to 393.108 in the regulations. They have a list of tiedown types and sizes. If the tiedown is not marked, you must use the assigned rating from the regs. You need to check 393.100 through 393.136 though. Many commodities, such as bundled lumber, vehicles, heavy equipment, have specific requirements in addition to the genereal load limit requirements. Also, keep in mind, if you are inspected and your load is not secured sufficiently, it is an Out of Service Violation and you can probably count on being issued a ticket, being parked where you are, and your company's safety rating going down." That is not quite right. According to the rules the aggregate working load limit is "the sum of one half of the working load limit of each tiedown". This means you divide the load rating of each tiedown by two and then add them up to get the aggregate working load limit. If your tiedowns are rated at 7,000 lbs and you have 5 tiedowns , the aggregate working load limit, the sum of one half of the working load limit of all tiedowns would be 17,500 lbs. Securment rules state "The aggregate working load limit of any securement system used to secure an article or group of articles against movement must be at least one-half the weight of the article or group of articles". Divide the working load limit of each tiedown used by two and add them together. This number needs to be equal to or greater than half the weight of your load. It is an overcomplicated, fancy way of saying that the load limit of your tiedowns must be equal to the weight of the load.
What is an Example of a dead-load?
A dead load is the weight of the bridge or vehicle or building excluding the people or objects in it(An example is: If you were standing on a bridge all alone you would be the live load and the bridge itself would be the dead load)

What is the weight of people and cars on a bridge called?
Dynamic Load The "load" is the total force and weight that a structure such as a bridge is designed to withstand. For a bridge, the total load includes the "dynamic" loads of traffic, people, wind, snow, and ice and the "static" load of the bridge's own weight.
What is statical l oad?
A weight/load that does not move. For example, on a bridge, if there is a statue on the bridge, that would be considered a static load. A dynamic load is one that moves, such as cars passing over the bridge.
What is the load of the golden gate bridge?
the load is compression and tension
What bridge can hold the most weight?
Tires with a 'Load Index' rating of 119 can carry 3,000 pounds each. This is the last set of numbers in your tire designation
Name and describe three types of loads that must be considered in bridge construction?
In bridge construction dead load, live load, and dynamic load must be considered. Dead load is the weight of the bridge itself. Live load is the moving weight on the bridge. Dynamic load comes from outside forces like wind and vibrations.
What is the dead load and a live load and a dynamic load of an arch bridge?
The dead load is the weight of the bridge itself. The live load is things like traffic, wind, rain, etc. The dynamic load are things like earthquakes, big gusts of wind, and other things.
