In this video, Structural Engineering Basic’s Noah Moscovitch will give a quick overview of the types of loads structural engineers use to design structures. Gravity loads, or vertical loads, will be discussed including dead loads, live loads and snow loads. Lateral or horizontal loads will also be touched on which include wind loads, earthquake loads, and surcharge loads. Loads are forces or pressures that act on a structure. Structural engineers design structures to resist these loads and transfer them into the earth below.
