1

What Are Structural Loads?

Structural loads are forces that cause stress and deformations to structures. One must adequately identify the loads one will experience during its lifetime. 

#

2

Where Do Loads Come From?

Structural loads come from various sources. The most common ones are from the environment such as gravity, wind, etc. Other sources include man-made such as construction or usage.

#

3

What are the Types of Structural Loads?

There are many ways how to classify structural loads. In this post, we'll explore the different common loads that we may encounter - dead, live, wind, earthquake, etc.

#

4

How Do We Describe Loads?

Structural loads have different properties that we must know when analyzing structures such as spatial application, duration, nature, rate of application, and certainty.

#

5

How Do Loads Apply On a Structure?

How loads apply to the structure itself comes in various forms. It may come as a moment/torsion, concentrated point load, linear load, or planar load.

Introduction to Structural Engineering

In this series of posts, let's explore a basic introduction to structural engineering. We answer questions like: What is a structure? How to design structures? And more.

#

2

Structural Modeling

Structural modeling is one of the stages in structural design. It involves creating the skeleton frame of the structure itself. Let's explore more in this series of posts.

#

4

Structural Analysis

Structural analysis is one of the stages in the whole design process. In this stage, we analyze the behavior of the structure under the given model and loads.

Structural Engineering

Structural engineering is a subdiscipline of civil engineering that deals with investigating, analyzing, and designing civil structures - shelters, buildings, etc.
