   Jan 14, 2024 · A point load is a concentrated action (load) on a structural element such as a beam or column which acts only on a very small area compared to the uniformly distributed load. In structural engineering, point loads are a simplification of complex actions.

   The value for concrete capacity shown in Equation 5.26 presumes concrete of normal weight ("normalweight" is one word in the ACI 318 reference). For lightweight concrete, this value can be multiplied by 0.85 (sand-lightweight concrete) or 0.75 (all-lightweight concrete).

   A distributed load is any force where the point of application of the force is an area or a volume. This means that the “point of application” is not really a point at all.

   Distributed loads may either be a pressure (e.g. pounds per square inch, kilopascals) or a ‘line load’ (e.g. kilonewtons per metre). Pressure loads are usually used to design wide elements like slabs and walls while line loads are used to design narrow elements like beams.

   In a residential structure, the weight of the building is supported by the foundation, which is typically made of reinforced concrete. Consider a two-story house. First, the roof, walls, and floors are transferred to the foundation through load-bearing walls, columns, and beams.

   What is the difference between point load and uniformly distributed load?

   • Point loads act in one local spot, while uniformly distributed loads act across an area or path. Both load types also have different units. The unit of point loads is kN, while uniformly distributed loads are in kN/m 2 or kN/m. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment.

   How do you find the equivalent point force for a distributed load?

   • To be equivalent, the point force must have a: Magnitude equal to the the area or volume under the distributed load function. Line of action that passes through the centroid of the distributed load distribution. The next two sections will explore how to find the magnitude and location of the equivalent point force for a distributed load.

   Can a distributed load be represented by a concentrated load?

   • In many problems, like equilibrium of rigid bodies (Section 5.2) or support reaction calculation a distributed load can be represented by a concentrated load, for simplicity reasons, without changing its effects in the calculation.

   Can a distributed load be simplified as a concentrated force?

   • A distributed load can be simplified (or modeled) as a concentrated force when the area of contact is relatively small and the simplification does not affect the external effects (e.g. deformation). In this case, the load on a body is referred to as a concentrated load.

   Why is a line load a point load?

   • But because the elements are all bars, the line load needs to be transformed into point loads to calculate the reaction and normal forces with the 3 equilibrium equations. These design loads are the result of load combinations of traffic and dead load.

   What is a uniformly distributed design load on a warren truss?

   • A uniformly distributed design load of 200 kN/m is applied on the bottom chords of the warren truss. But because the elements are all bars, the line load needs to be transformed into point loads to calculate the reaction and normal forces with the 3 equilibrium equations.

   Most real-world loads are distributed, including the weight of building materials and the force of wind, water, or earth pushing on a surface. Pressure, load, weight density and stress are all names commonly used for distributed loads.
