  2. Structural load - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_load

    The size of the load factor is based on the probability of exceeding any specified design load. Dead loads have small load factors, such as 1.2, because weight is mostly known and accounted for, such as structural members, architectural elements and finishes, large pieces of mechanical, electrical and plumbing (MEP) equipment, and for buildings ...

  3. Container compression test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Container_compression_test

    The peak load; The deformation at peak load; The load at a critical deformation (head space, etc.) The ability of a container to protect the contents from compression damage; etc. The dynamic loads have some relationship with expected field loads.: [3] often factors of 4 or 5 are used to estimate the allowable working load on boxes.

  4. Structural engineering theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_engineering_theory

    A typical load case for design for serviceability (characteristic load cases; SLS) is: 1.0 x Dead Load + 1.0 x Live Load. Different load cases would be used for different loading conditions. For example, in the case of design for fire a load case of 1.0 x Dead Load + 0.8 x Live Load may be used, as it is reasonable to assume everyone has left ...

  6. Structural analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Structural_analysis

    In the context to structural analysis, a structure refers to a body or system of connected parts used to support a load. Important examples related to Civil Engineering include buildings, bridges, and towers; and in other branches of engineering, ship and aircraft frames, tanks, pressure vessels, mechanical systems, and electrical supporting structures are important.

  7. Limit state design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limit_state_design

    In determining the specific magnitude of the factors, more deterministic loads (like dead loads, the weight of the structure and permanent attachments like walls, floor treatments, ceiling finishes) are given lower factors (for example 1.4) than highly variable loads like earthquake, wind, or live (occupancy) loads (1.6).

  8. Macaulay's method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macaulay's_method

    Simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load. An illustration of the Macaulay method considers a simply supported beam with a single eccentric concentrated load as shown in the adjacent figure. The first step is to find . The reactions at the supports A and C are determined from the balance of forces and moments as

  9. Belton flintlock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belton_flintlock

    Belton then began making superposed load flintlocks, which used a sliding lock mechanism, with the London gunsmith William Jover, and provided one or more examples to the British army for teseting. The replaceable chamber makes this example both a breechloader , and effectively gives it a seven shot replaceable magazine .
