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 […]

The Importance of Loading

The importance of loading is quite obvious to everyone. The larger the loads are the stronger the cross section must be. However in simple lessons such as statics loads are always given, in reality loading comes with uncertainties. In simple words we need to design for the worst possible loading condition which might never happens […]
