Load, pronunciation: hè z à i. ("load" means "bearing", so read four tones) refers to factors such as external forces that cause internal forces and deformation of structures or members. Or customarily, it refers to all kinds of direct effects exerted on engineering structures or components, such as structural dead weight, floor live load, roof live load, gray load of housing area, vehicle load, crane load, equipment dynamic load and natural loads such as wind, snow, ice and waves.
Traditionally, load refers to all kinds of direct effects exerted on engineering structures or components, and load usually refers to external forces exerted on objects. In construction engineering, it refers to the weight borne by building components. Generally, it can be universal. The word "load" is used in the current building engineering code. It is suggested that you also use "load" when writing your thesis.
Extended data:
Variable load (live load), its value changes with time in the design reference period, and the change value can not be ignored compared with the average value. Such as floor live load, roof live load and dust load, crane load, wind load, snow load, etc.
Live load, also known as variable load, is the use or occupation load imposed on the structure by people, materials, vehicles and other natural loads. Such as industrial building floor live load, civil building floor live load, roof live load, building area gray load, vehicle load, crane load, wind load, snow load, icing load, wave load, etc.
