Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A new office building has a total dead load of 150 kN and a live load of 60 kN. If a wind load is forecasted to exert an additional 25 kN, what is the total load on the structure?
💡 Hint: Add up all the loads acting on the structure.
Question 2
Consider a building site prone to heavy snowfall. If the snow load is estimated at 2 kN/m² and the roof area is 100 m², calculate the total snow load on the roof.
💡 Hint: Think of it as multiplying the load by the area it covers.
