Types of Loads on Beams [Full Guide]
An in depth guide covering what types of loads act on beams such as UDL, point and snow load. Check out the article to read about the other 9 loads.
The 7 Types of Loads on Structures & Buildings (Practical Guide)
Learn what loads act on structures and buildings and how to apply them (Dead, snow, live load + 4 more).
Dead Load – What is It and How to Calculate It?
Learn how to apply the dead load, for what elements you calculate the dead load & what units are used.
Live load – all you need to know
Read this guide to understand what the live load is and how to use it in structural calculations.
Wind load calculation on an arched roof (Example)
After we have already covered the wind velocity, wind loads on walls, flat roofs and pitched roofs, this time we calculate the wind load for – a structure most structural engineers probably do not work…
How to calculate the wind load of a pitched roof
As in the previous articles, we are calculating the wind load according to EN 1991-1-4:2005. This time: The wind load of pitched roofs, as it is the case for most family houses. In this article,…
How to calculate the wind loads of a flat roof
In this article we are going to calculate the wind load on flat roofs according to EN 1991-1-4:2005. As we already did for the wind load calculation of the walls/facades, we are going to explain…
Wind load calculation on walls
In this article we are going to calculate the wind load on vertical elements like walls and facades according to EN 1991-1-4:2005. We like to explain it with examples. This time, we will calculate the…
How to calculate the peak velocity pressure $q_{p}$
Before we start calculating anything, let’s start with the question: What do we need the peak velocity pressure for? The value of the peak velocity pressure includes many parameters about the location, height of the…
