Applied Mechanics Questions

LDead load
Dead load refers to loads that relatively don't change over time. All
permanent components of a building including walls, Beam, coloume
flooring etc. The dead loads are calculated. from the member sizes and
estimated material densities.
2.live load?
live load refers to a load that can change over time. the weight ofthe
load is variable or shifts locations, when people are walking around. Eg
furniture vehicles etc. various types of imposed loads coming on the
structure are given on IS 875 (Part 2) 11987
3.wind load?
wind load is the load in pounds per square feet placed on the exterior of
a structure by wind. This will depend on The angle at which the wind
strikes the structure and the shape of the structure. ie height, width etc
4. floor finish load

Floor finish load is the load acting due to plaster, paintings, tiles. All the
loads of plaster, tiles and other finishes comes under it.
5. density of construction material?

Density of construction materials are its mass/volume of material.It is
expressed in kg/m2 and shows compactness of building material.
Density is also called as unit weight of a substance Represented by rho.
6.design load? ultimate load.

It is the maximum amount of something a system is designed to handle
or the maximum amount of something that the system can produce.
Ultimate load is the limit load multiplied by a prescribed scale factor of
1:5. It is the amount of load applied to a component beyond which the
Component will fail
7.seismic or earthquake load?

Seismic loading is one of the basic concepts of earthquake engineering
which means application of earthquake generated agitation to a
structure or The total force exerted on a structure by an earthquake.
Code:IS 1893
1simple support
simple supported beam is one of the simplest structures. It features only two supports, one at each
end.and one is a pinned support and the other is roller support. There are 2 reactions in it
2.Hinged Support
Pinned support or hinged support can resist both verti and horizontal forces but cant resist
moment. it is restrained. against translation. there can be 3 reactions..
3) fixed support
Fixed support can resist vertical and horizontal forces as well as moment. Since they restrain both
rotation and translation, they are also known as rigid supports... it is fixed from both the ends.
There are 6 support reactions in it. A fixed support prevents all movements and incations at the
point where it is attached to the structure.
4simply supported beam
It is a type of Beam that has pinned support at one end and roller support at other end.
Simple supported beam with point loading incdude bridges. beams in buildings and beds of
machine loads.
5cantilever beam
It is a member with one end projecting beyond the point of support, free to move in a vertical
plane under the influence of vertical loads placed between the free end support. It finds its
application in the creation of bay window, bridges and balconies.
6)What is fixed beam
A Beam supported on both ends, which are fixed in place. They provide sturdiness to the
structure.they are used to withstand both horizontal and vertical forces.
7) What is UDL
UDL is a load that is distributed or spread across the whole region of an brunt such as a beam or
slab.
8) uniform Varied Load.

UVL is the load where magnitude varies along the loading length with constant rate.
9) What is a continuous Beam?

The statically intermediate multi span beam supported on hinges. These are supported by 2 or
more supports which can be either fixed or free support. It is commonly used in bridges.
10) overhanging beam?

If the end support of the beam extends beyond the support, then the beam is overhanging beam it
may be one of the supports or on both the sides
they are used in floor beam which extends beyond the exterior wall of a building to supporta
balcony.
1)What is a faint load
it is an equivalent load appiled to a single point or a load applied to single, specific point on a
structural membrane.
