What is a Structural Load Calculator?
A structural load calculator is a tool used to estimate the various loads acting on a structure, including dead loads (permanent), live loads (temporary), and environmental loads (wind, snow).
It helps ensure that the structure can safely support these loads.
Why use a Structural Load Calculator?
- Safety Assurance: Ensures that the structure is designed to safely support anticipated loads.
- Code Compliance: Helps comply with building codes and standards regarding load-bearing capacities.
- Structural Analysis: Assists in analyzing and designing structural elements for different load scenarios.
- Material Selection: Aids in selecting appropriate materials based on expected loads.
