Question

explanation of dead, wind and live loads on house building?

Answer 1

Beams, roofs and floors must be structured to carry a load. Loads are generally broken into the following categories: live loads, dead loads, snow loads and wind loads.



LIVE LOAD-Is a load imposed on a structure from occupancy and use of the building. EX. People or equipment inside of a building.



DEAD LOAD-The total weight of buildings structural components, fixtures and permanently attached equipment. EX. The shingles on a roof are part of the dead load imposed on the roof.



WIND LOAD- The load calculated into the structure to resist the horizontal force of wind.



SNOW LOAD-The live load calculated into the structure that accounts for the weight of snow. Usually dictated by local building codes.

Dead Load Definition

Answer 3

First consider the weight of the roof materials themselves, i.e. rafters, nails, shingle, plywood that make up the roof weight. This weight is the dead load.



Now think about a twelve inch deep layer of snow lying on the same roof. The snow is considered the "live" load. Wind is a little more ephemeral but a 20 mph wind will exert considerable force on the roof. LIke the force exerted by the snow, the wind load is also considered "live".



A designer must consider both dead and live load when sizing structural supports. Live loads will vary. Dead loads are constant. Normal wind loads for a geographic region are considered and then a safety factor is applied when considering the size and strength of say a support column or structural support.

Answer 4

It's called Faith. You have faith aswell, your faith lies in the opinions of scientist. I am a believer in God! He has done great things. in my life. If you were to be right there is nothing I would regret in the way I have lived my life so far. I have been kind, respectful, helpful and try to live by the standards given to us by God. This only betters me and other around me. This is not a bad thing. If your wrong though, read the bible and see what awaits a non believer its not good. And yes some churches do make a " Butt Load of Money" but do you know what they do with it? Some churches are not doing what was intended of the church and that is to be a place of fellowship and refuge, a source for guidance and hope. Most churches dont make near what you assume they make. I have been involved in both small and very large churches. I could quote you bilbe versus but I figure you must know some already and you or someone close to you has had an aweful experience in a church. Just remember if your lvingin like theier is no hell you better be right :)

Answer 5

A dead load is a load imposed by a non-movable object such as a mechanical piece of equipment (weight load), or the weight of shingles on a roof, or the weight of a concrete slab.



A live load is a load imposed by a moving object such as person or persons walking on a floor or roof, or a load imposed by a moving fork lift or some other piece of movable equipment on a floor.



Wind loads are loads imposed on the walls and roof of a building or upon equipment anchors due to the wind.



Seismic loads are the loads imposed upon a building or upon equipment anchors due to earthquake s.



Snow loads are dead loads.

Answer 7

Just to make it simple and easy for you, the definition of dead load and live load

Dead Load : Is the load is permanently apply on the structure and shall not move or change.

Live Load : Is the load applied on the structure and keep moving or changing, or possible to be move or change, like tiles , furniture , equipment , people , and so on

Wind load is the pressure applied on the surface of the building that exerts stresses and moments on the structure ,
