LOADS LOADS
When structures block the flow of wind, the wind’s kinetic energy is
converted into potential energy of pressure, which causes a wind
loading.

Live loads can vary both in their magnitude and location. They may be Earthquakes produce loadings on a structure through its interaction

lateral resistance of the structure.

Several other types of live loads may also have to be considered in the
design of a structure, depending on its location or use. These include
the effect of blast, temperature changes, and differential settlement of
the foundation.
