Question 1
A roof structure is subjected to a dead load of 5 kN/m², a live load of 3 kN/m², and a snow load of 2 kN/m². Calculate the total adjusted load using load factors of 1.2 for dead load, 1.6 for live load, and 1.5 for snow load.
💡 Hint: Apply each load factor to its respective load.
Question 2
Design a structural element considering the load impacts from wind and seismic factors. Given a wind load of 1.5 kN/m² and a seismic load of 2.3 kN/m², how would you use different load factors for safety?
💡 Hint: Think about how to prioritize safety while integrating loads.
