Dead Loads and Idealization of Structural Members Steven Vukazich San Jose State University

What is a Dead Load? Dead Loads are Fixed Position Gravity Loads Examples are weights of the following: • Ceiling, • Flooring, • Façade, • Structural Members. Found from tables of weights of building materials (usually listed in weight/unit area)

Weights of Building Materials from AISC Manual of Steel Construction

Deck Carries Uniform Load to Beams Loads carried to the beam from the metal deck are uniformly distributed over the beam

Vertical (Gravity) Load Path Loads carried to the larger beam (girder) from the smaller beams are concentrated at the point of the connection and applied as point loads

Framing at Deck Overhang Framing at overhanging deck carries load to girder at edge
