Answer 2

beams framing into beams

Question 3

Uniform load (distributed load)

New york workers eating lunch on beam and marina bay sands hotel

Question 4

Dead loads (self weight)

Question 6

Live loads (occupancy loads)

Question 7

Answer 7

load produced by the use and occupancy of the building or other structure that does not include construction or environmental loads.

Question 8

Flood loads

Answer 8

Lateral forces resulting from static and dynamic water pressure
building codes specify that buildings be constructed above the flood elevation or flood-proofed.

Question 9

Load paths

Answer 9

all loads applied to a structure whether gravity or lateral, eventually make their way down through the structures components to the ground.
-most efficient load path is a direct line to the ground
