Meaning of Load-Bearing
Load-bearing refers to the ability of a structural element to carry and transmit loads imposed upon it. These loads can come from various sources, such as gravity, wind, or occupants. Understanding the load-bearing capacity of materials and structures is crucial in ensuring their safety and stability.
Load Type | Description |
---|---|
Dead Load | Permanent weight of the structure, including walls, floors, and roof |
Live Load | Variable weight imposed by occupants, furniture, or equipment |
Wind Load | Force exerted by wind on the structure's exterior |
Seismic Load | Force caused by earthquakes |
