Structural loads refer to the forces, pressures, and other external actions that act upon a structure, causing it to undergo various deformations, stresses, and reactions. These loads can be the result of various factors, including the weight of the structure itself, live loads (temporary or moving loads), environmental conditions, and other dynamic forces. Accurate consideration of structural loading is essential in the design, analysis, and construction of safe structures in civil engineering. Structural engineers analyze and design structures to safely withstand the effects of these various loads. Proper consideration of structural loading is crucial to prevent failures and ensure safety of infrastructure.
