Question
Chapter 10, Problem 2P
To determine
Explain about dead load, live load, impact load, wind load, and snow load.
Expert Solution & Answer
Explanation of Solution
Dead load: It refers to loads that generally doesn’t change over time, like weights of materials and components of the structure such as flooring material, framing, roofing material and the weights of the service equipment like plumbing, HVAC, etc.
Live loads: It refers to loads that can change over time, like when people walking around a building or movable objects (moving flower pot on a floor).
Impact load: It is the load experienced by a structure when a moving object is suddenly stopped by the structure (hitting or falling one object on another).
Wind load: It is the load applied by speed of the wind and its air density against a building that creates a negative pressure on the leeward side and positive pressure on the windward side. The Eiffel Tower has a structure that was designed to resist a wind load.
Snow load: It is the downward force acting on a building roof due to the weight of the accumulated ice and snow. The entire structure can fail if the snow load exceeds the building weight, due to the poor design structure.
Conclusion:
Hence, the explanation for dead load, live load, impact load, wind load, and snow load are explained.

This is a question from mechanics of material book (axial load chapter). I need the correct solution please, it is very important and answers I have seen are vary.
A steel column with a cross section of 12 cm x 16 cm is 4 m in height and is fixed at its base. The column is pinned at its top. The column's modulus of elasticity is 2.1 x 10^5 MPa. What is the maximum vertical load the column can support without bucking?
The floor plan of a building is shown below. The uniform dead and live loads applied over
the floor are qD=65 psf and qL=90 psf.
Compute the seismic weight, W (kip), supported by this floor. Assume 25% of the live load contributes to seismic weight.
Compute the seismic mass, m, supported by this floor. Assume g=32.2 ft/sec2. Indi- cate the correct units of mass in terms of kip, ft, and sec.
A “lollipop” model of an SFRS has seismic weight W=450 kip and stiffness k=60 kip/inch. What is the natural period, Tn, of the building model?
If the stiffness of the lollipop model in the previous problem is doubled, i.e., k becomes 120 kip/inch, what is the natural period of the new model?
