The structural engineer had calculated the building's dead load ( the weight of the building itself ) was completely omitted from the calculation.
22.
However, their approach not only failed to provide additional structural capacity, it also inadvertently introduced a new and significant dead load at the weakened area.
23.
The trusses are fabricated with camber to compensate for dead load and are transported to the site, stored and then erected generally in one piece.
24.
In 1958, surplus J33s were used in jet donkeys pushing dead loads at 200 knots to test aircraft carrier arresting gear cables and tailhooks at Lakehurst.

The difference is in the dead load design concept adopted for this bridge and concreting of the side spans done with support provided by the intermediate trestle.
26.
Check the spanning tables of the state building code to determine how many pounds per square foot your floor will carry, both dead load and live load.
27.
The greatest concern with this method is that the weight of the extra material could exceed the dead load capacity of the roof structure and cause collapse.
28.
First type of load is called Dead loads that consist of the weights of the various structural members and the weights of any objects that are permanently attached to the structure.
29.
It is a useful book, pocket size and crammed with a wonderful amount of good things, especially for someone who does not know the difference between dead load and live load.
30.
Just add extra dead load of the said snow while designing the slab thickness if the structure is RCC . talk ) 03 : 54, 30 November 2014 ( UTC ) EEK
