1.3 - Calculating dead and live loads (8 mins)

[@charlie7333]

This lecturer is called Lizi, she was my civil lecturer for my first year of uni back in 2012. I had no idea which branch of engineering I wanted to do. But after attending a few of her lectures I fell in love with civil engineering because her lectures are always fun and easy to understand. Now I am a structural engineer and have never looked back since. THX LIZ! I FEEL SO LUCKY TO SIT THROUGH YOUR LECTURES! :)

@@elizabethsironic5951 Hi, can you clarify something for me. If we are calculating live load on a roof beam, should we use Table 3.2, the formula 1.8/A + 0.12? Where A = beam span * load width?

[@jonathanbrazeau970]

in residential construction, I see many I-joist beam manufactures are showing their beams rated for ~40psf live and ~20-35psf, deal load, should I just assume that will be enough for a standard, let's say, 1-3 story residential wood structure ??? I'm just wondering if I should go through the process of manually calculating the actually loading on my joists.....

I wish American schools would have instructed in metric. It's so much easier than memorizing 64th's of an inch and then memorizing the decimal equivalent and then converting that number into a percentage form. I still struggle with visualizing a kilometer where as a mile is more the norm.

Thanks sir your lectures help us. Understanding clearly

Hi. Isn't Kilogram the unit of mass and Newton for force therefore weight?

nice explain mam you can send or make videos about dead live earth impact snow load numerical.

Thankyou so much highly informative

[@flickyfoo3606]

I still need help. I have to calculate the live load of a bridge I need to design for my year 11 assignment. My bridge has to withstand 6kn and it’s 50m long. The dead load is 22,751.96kg. If someone could help me that would be appreciated so much

[@mohammedgulam9068]

how to calculate load value & put in place such as dl ll wl eq in load case details w=??

Thank you

42 ????? how at 5:02 mint i think 12 .

[@elizabethsironic5951]

If you look closely at the image in the video you will see it is 42mm not 12mm
