Question 1

What constitutes a dead load?

  • People and Furniture
  • Permanent Structural Elements
  • Weather Conditions

💡 Hint: Consider what remains in place regardless of usage.

Question 2

True or False: Live loads are variable and can change per use of the structure.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Recall the difference between live loads and dead loads.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A building’s roof is designed for a dead load of 15,000 N and a variable live load of up to 5,000 N in peak usage. During a snowstorm, the snow adds 10,000 N total. Calculate the total load intensity on a roof area of 120 m².

💡 Hint: Make sure to add all load components before dividing by area.

Question 2

A structure is built in an area prone to heavy winds. If the design incorporates wind loads of 8,000 N and interacts with a total dead load of 12,000 N and a live load of 6,000 N, what's the total intensity across a 100 m² area?

💡 Hint: Remember to account for each type of load impacting your final density.
