Loads and Load Path Design Loads • The load that is assumed for the design of a structure • May include one or more of the following: − Dead Load − Live Load − Snow and Ice Load − Rain Load −Flood Load − Wind Load − Earthquake Load − Earth Pressure Load
Design Loads Dead Loads (DL) – fixed loads −The weight of the building components −The weight of fixed service equipment −Only known load
Design Loads Live Loads (LL) – transient and moving loads −Loads produced by the use and occupancy of a building −Live load may be variable during a structure’s lifetime −Specified in building codes ©i. Stockphoto. com
Design Loads Snow Load – Force of accumulated snow on a roof – Specified in building codes – Depends on • • Location Exposure to wind Importance of building Roof slope ©i. Stockphoto. com
Design Loads Lateral Loads – Wind Loads – Earthquake Loads – Flood Loads – Earth Pressure Loads
Load Types Uniformly Distributed Load Concentrated Load
Load Path • The path that a load travels through the structural system • “Tracing” or “chasing” the loads • Each structural element must be designed for all loads that pass through it HVAC
Load Path Every load applied to the building will travel through the structural system until it is transferred to the supporting soil. APPLIED LOAD

Tributary Area Beam B. 3 3’- 4” Half the distance to each adjacent beam 6’-8” Tributary Width Tributary Area = Structural member in the framing system carries a certain area of the load Tributary Area = Beam Span (length) x Tributary Width
Beam B. 3 6'-8'' Tributary Width Tributary Area = Beam Span (length) x Tributary Width Tributary Area = (18 ft) ∙ (6. 67 ft) = 120 ft 2
Beam B. 3 6'-8'' Tributary Width Beam Uniform Load = Floor Loading (psf) x Tributary Width (ft)
Calculating Beam Loading Assume that the floor system must support its own weight of 40 psf (dead load) and a live load of 100 psf. What is the uniform load applied to the beam? Total Floor Load = 40 + 100 = 140 psf Uniform Load = Floor Load ∙ Tributary Width

Calculating Column Loads Beam Girder
Calculating Column Loads Tributary Area = (18 ft)(20 ft) = 360 ft 2
Calculating Column Loads Assume that the floor system must support its own weight of 40 psf (dead load) and a live load of 100 psf. What is the column load for column B 3? Total Floor Load = 40 + 100 = 140 psf Column Load = Tributary Area ∙ Total Floor Load
