Constructing Environments E-learning and Reading Modules(Loads & Forces) Loads Different Types Of Loads That Built Structures Withstand Are: -Static Loads a)Applied slowly to a structure until it reaches a peak value without fluctuating rapidly in magnitude or position. b)Occupancy loads,snow loads,rain loads,impact loads,dead loads c)Structure responds slowly and its deformation reaches a peak when static force is at its maximum -Dynamic Loads a)Applied suddenly to a structure,often with rapid changes in magnitude and point of application b) Wind and earthquake loads c)Structure develops inertial forces in relation to its mass and its maximum deformation does not necessarily correspond to the maximum magnitude of the applied force.
