Fixed loads such as the weight of the buildings components and the equipment with-in:
Lateral Loads
Live Loads
Dead Loads
Environmental Loads
Live Loads, (moving loads) are specified in building code:
True
False
The underground level load pictured here provides lateral forces in which the magnitude increases as the depth increases:
footing distribution
Soil Pressure
geothermal load tension
To compensate for a load path....
load path code must be acquainted with in the evaluation
Each structural element must be designed for all loads that pass through it
situation of the building type will be relevant in the decision
