Loads in Buildings Explained

Skyscrapers must be engineered to resist gravity and lateral loads, but what exactly does that mean? 🌆🔍 In this video, we’ll simplify gravity loads, covering self-weight, superimposed dead loads, and live loads. Discover how these concepts play a crucial role in the stability and safety of towering structures. Perfect for anyone interested in engineering or just curious about how these giants withstand the forces of nature!

Hi everyone. This was my first video on this channel and it meant a lot to me. I did two semi stop motion videos and moved on to make other types of videos such as making bridges and houses since viewers showed more interest in those type of videos (based on the number of views those videos received). However, there are many more educational topics I would like to cover with this types of production so If you enjoy watching this video, press the like button and when the likes reach 100, I will make one video like this about the lateral forces on tall buildings (wind and seismic). Thanks for watching my video!

Thank for the 100 likes! As promised I will be making one video about lateral loads in buildings soon!

So how do you figure out the distribution of steel down a skyscraper?

[@mariacastro7355]

Good job ,

[@meisam2662]

Nice!!!

What is the preferable floor system for high rise buildings that gives the lightest weight? Give me choices please

[@StructurePlanet]

I have seen high rises with post-tensioned concrete slab, reinforced concrete slab, and also composite floor system which includes steel beams, metal deck, shear studs, and reinforced concrete for topping which is the lighter option.

@@StructurePlanet thank you a lot Keep going I like your videos and how you explain things simply👍
