Hi Brendan, Great 101 on design loads for different types of structures. Hopefully, clients and other design teams can take into consideration what loads must apply for structural members and not the cheapest way..... Thanks Malik.
Thanks a lot for your content. I would like to ask if you kindly add video related to the selection of an efficient structural system and the factors we can take into account to decide which system is the most efficient. Thanks
There's been flooding over here in NZ a month or so ago and... sections had been levelled just three years ago by using giant polystyrene blocks (not those tiny rib/raft blocks) that were then built or landscaped over... well wen it flooded the polystyrene became buoyant... and, well, havoc ensued.
I've never heard that one's allowed to reduce the live loads if summing up forces of several floors. Is this something that's standing in some building code. It's definitely not in the swiss building code.
Very relevant topic. Determination of loads is one of the key elements in design. Thanks Brendan

Thanks mate for your comment. We need to contineously educate them to consider the proper loads, not cut corners.
One of the best content... thank you 🙏
Good day Sir, please make a video on how to prepare a structural design report.

ohhh :///
How are you eng. , I need the standards of AS3600 & AS1170 in pdf files. Can you help me ? thanks.
Hi. Brendan, how do you take account for hail? Snow load ?
in the swiss building code it depends the altitude, the location, and the steepness of the roof
I've never heard that one's allowed to reduce the live loads if summing up forces of several floors. Is this something that's standing in some building code. It's definitely not in the swiss building code.
This reduction is only for multiple floors not single elements.
We also have live loads that are reduceable and some which aren't
nowadays the roof loads are more than the floor loads because they want to put RTUs, solar panels, green roof systems up there
well only if its a flat roof, but yes they can get very heavy when they want soil on the roof
