LOADS ON STRUCTURES
Structural members must be designed to
support specific loads.
Loads are those forces for which a given
structure should be proportioned.
Loads that act on structures can be divided
into three broad categories-
Dead load
Live load
Environmental load

Load combinations are used to determine the
highest load that a structure would resist in
the service life.
