Structural design is a set of processes that assures that a building is capable of resisting applied loads, fulfilling its functions, and sustaining its stability.
The processes of structural design can be summarized in the following steps:- Determination of applied loads.
- Selecting the economic and proper structural system.
- Structural analysis of the structural system to get internal actions.
- Design of structural members to resist internal actions.
The determination of loads is a critical step because any deviation in calculations of applied loads will lead to an underestimate of loads, which may cause structural failures, or it will lead to an overestimation of loads, which may cause uneconomic design.
After the determination of all structural loads, these loads shall be combined using the load combinations set by the building code or by the code of loads. The loads are combined statistically to reflect the realistic behavior of the loads acting on the building.
This course is the tenth course of a series related to the determination of loads; all of these courses are independent and do not require any perquisites. The following is the list of related courses:
2. Determination of Live & Roof Live Loads as Per ASCE7-16
