Limit State Design
The design requirements:
1- Under the worst loading the structure is safe.
2-During normal working condition the deformation of the
members does not detract from the appearance, durability or
performance of the structure
Dead loads are loads of constant magnitude that remain in one position.
Dead loads consist of the weights of the various structural members and the
weights of any objects that are permanently attached to the structure.
(weight of walls, plasters, floorings, glasses, plumping and electrical attachments).
Once the materials and sizes of the various components of the structure are
determined, their weights can be found from tables that list their densities.
Live loads may be caused by the weights of objects temporarily placed on a structure,
moving vehicles, or natural forces.
(weight of human beings, moving loads, … etc)
The minimum live loads specified in codes are determined from studying the history of
their effects on existing structures.
Earthquake Loads:
An earthquake is a sudden undulation of a portion of the earth’s surface.
