Understanding Structural Loads: Types & Effects on Buildings

This article provides an introduction to various types of structural loads, including dead, live, impact, wind, and seismic loads. It explains how these forces influence building design and the importance of accurate load analysis for safety and durability in construction.

The only thing scarier than the speed at which this guy went from zero knowledge about the structure to cutting though joists and slapping together load bearing walls, is the multitude of people in the comments wishing he would do the same to their homes. A good reminder of why building permits are a thing.

Nerdiest thing I have done in a while…

When you *really* want a book on Japanese and German structural wood joinery but the flat shipping cost is more than half the cost of the book, you find 4 friends to go in on buying a bunch of copies #structuralengineering

As a young bridge engineer in Vancouver, I was told that there was a temporary support containing I-beams for which the shear resistance had been calculated using the entire cross-sectional area of the beam, rather than only the area of the web. The calculated resistance was consequently about twice the actual resistance.

🚀 BEHOLD: The #AI that's going to magically revolutionize building design by repeating "Features" and "How it works" like a broken record. 🏗️ Apparently, throwing enough #buzzwords at a wall will make structural engineering happen. 🤖✨ Just don't ask it to actually plan anything without a human holding its hand. 🙄

Differentiating between shear walls and columns is crucial in structural design, especially when their geometries overlap. While both elements transfer loads, their behavior under stress, reinforcement requirements, and design criteria vary significantly. #ShearWall #Structuralengineering #ColumnDesign #AspectRatio
