[@rustyneedles3743]

Do excuse me, I'm like hella stupid when it comes to this kind of stuff, but as for the 20Kn number, is that just an example of force? and if you wanted the real number or amount of force, you would need to calculate the weight of all components? and or additions to the structure?

[@michibosire5000]

​@RUSTY NEEDLES Yeah, usually for structures you calculate the dead load, which is the load of all the structural members, eg beams, columns, then you add the live load, which is the load of things like trains, cars, pedestrians. Then you add in wind and earthquake loads, and multiply all these loads by their respective factors. After which you get the moments and shear forces from these loads, and use these moments to figure out the rebar required per slab/beam/column.

I am a graduate of Civil Engg in 1979 and my professors were still primitive on the way of teaching. The calculators have been invented introduced late during my studies.

[@MrJacobkoh]

@@rustyneedles3743 this is a basic understanding and explanation of forces. weight and mass are different, weight being the force acting on an object with gravity, while mass being the amount of matter in an object. In this example, take it as the force acting on the object is xxKN, with gravity and mass of the beam being accounted for, as Weight (kn)= mass(kg) X gravity (m/s2). of course in reality there are alot of forces acting on the object, the type of material used for the beams, the type of bolt used etc. But the law of equilibrium and the law of moments about a point does not change.
