Main Loads Affecting Buildings and behavior
Dead Loads
Dead loads are the loads incurred due to
the weight of all the materials used in the
construction of a building and they have
a big impact on the long-term.
Introduction to construction systems
Live Loads
Live loads are produced by the users of a
building. These loads include the weight
of people and their furniture, The goal is
to design floor systems that limit
deflection and vibration for safety.

Main Loads Affecting Buildings and behavior

Rain Loads Snow Loads

Rain load is the weight that accumulates Snow load is the weight of snow
on a roof. This type of load is typically an uniformly distributed on the roof. Snow
issue only on very low-slope roofs. that slides from an upper roof onto a
lower roof also can add significantly to
snow load.

Earthquake Loads Wind Loads

Factors Affecting Earthquake Loads Wind loads generally act perpendicular to

• Ground Motion the surfaces of the buildings, The wind
• Buildings mass and flexibility of the load varies depending on the geographic
structure location of the house, its height, and its
• Type of soil roof slope.
• Building occupancy risk category
