Hi friends, In the first #2 episodes of the engineering mechanics series, we talked about the different static systems and which of these are statically determinate/indeterminate. Today, we’ll look at the different types of loads that we apply to these static systems/beams. Before we get started, we need to clarify the term “load”. In general, we differentiate between characteristic loads calculated according to Codes (like Eurocode) and, as I call them, geometrical loads which are basically...
