What is the dead load & how to calculate it? [Step-by-step tutorial]

The dead load is the self-weight of all elements of a building or structure, such as a concrete beam, flooring or the roof. The dead load is one of many structural loads that needs to be considered in a structural design. Being a structural engineer myself, I am calculating dead loads for every project. In this video, I’ll show you, what the dead load is, how to calculate and apply the dead load on structural elements. 🚀🚀 +++ Free 8-day email course about loads: https://structuralbasics.kit.com/free... +++ Check out my e-book Loads on Residential Buildings: https://shop.structuralbasics.com/pro...
