Steel Structure Load: Designing for Strength

Steel structure load is an essential step in designing and calculating steel structures. It is necessary to consider various loads on the building.

Common ones include structure dead weight, floor live load, roof live load, roof dust load, vehicle load, crane load, equipment Dynamic loads, and natural loads such as wind, snow, ice, waves, etc.

Use load calculation:

Usage load refers to the load generated during the use of the building, including personnel load, equipment load, furniture load, etc. The service load calculation must be determined based on the building’s specific use and design standards.

Wind load calculation:

Wind load refers to the load on a building under the action of wind, and factors such as the height, shape, and wind speed of the building need to be considered. Wind load calculations must be based on local meteorological data and design standards.

Snow load calculation:

Snow load refers to the load on a building under the action of snow, and factors such as local climate conditions and snow depth need to be considered. Snow load calculations must be based on design standards and local meteorological data.

Earthquake load calculation:

Seismic load refers to the load on a building under an earthquake. Factors such as the structural form of the building and the seismic intensity need to be considered. Calculation of seismic loads needs to be based on local seismic intensity and design standards.
