Structural design is a set of processes that assures that the building is capable of resisting applied loads, fulfilling its functions and sustaining its stability.
The processes of structural design can be summarized in the following steps:
- Determination of applied loads
- Selection of an economic and proper structural system
- Structural analysis of structural systems to get internal actions
- Design of structural members to resist internal actions
The determination of loads is a critical step because any deviation in calculations of applied loads will lead to an underestimation of loads, which may cause structural failures, or it will lead to an overestimation of loads, which may cause uneconomic design.
In this course, we will study the determination of Live & Roof Live Loads.
This course is the first course of a series related to the determination of loads. All of these courses are independent and do not require any pre-requisites. The following is the list of related courses:
2. Determination of Live & Roof Live Loads as Per ASCE7-16
3. Determination of Rain Loads as Per ASCE7-16
4. Determination of Snow Loads as Per ASCE7-16
5. Determination of Flood Loads as Per ASCE7-16
6. Determination of Ice Loads as Per ASCE7-16
7. Determination of Crane Loads as Per ASCE7-16, MBMA2016, and AISE13
8. Determination of Wind Loads as Per ASCE7-16
9. Determination of Seismic Loads as Per ASCE7-16
10. Load Combinations as Per ASCE7-16
This course involves a deep study on the determination of Live & Roof Live Loads, according to ASCE7-16-Chapter 4, and 2018 IBC-Chapter 16.
