Dead Loads

Dead Loads are referred to gravity loads of constant magnitudes and fixed positions that act permanently during the lifespan of the structure. it includes the weights of the structural members itself and that the material and equipment permanently attached to the building. To remain accurate, the weights of permanent equipment, such as air-conditioning systems, should […]

Loads Caused by Construction

In addition to usual loading, some loads are created and applied to the structural members during the installation and construction processes.  These loads, which are mainly gravity loads, must be predicted in designing in order to provide a safe construction.  In the following paragraphs, we explain some of these kinds of loading. Prefabricated sections and […]
