Live loads are usually unstable or moving loads temporary loads and based on the functionality of the structure.
Live and dead load for residential roofs.
Building materials are not dead loads until constructed in permanent position.
It is important to list live load dead load and total load separately because live load is used to compute stiffness and total load is used to calculate strength.
With conventional clay tile roofing.
With tar and gravel.
Structural steel offers much less of a dead load and provides superior support for live loads in multi story buildings.
The total dead plus live loads equal the gravity load of the structure.
3 3 dead loads dead loads consist of the permanent construction material loads comprising the roof floor wall and foundation systems including claddings finishes and fixed equipment.
910 pounds per lineal foot.
The values for dead loads in table 3 2 are for commonly used materials and constructions in light frame residential buildings.
50 psf x 14ft 700 pounds per lineal foot.
Light frame wood roof with wood structural panel sheathing and 1 2 inch gypsum board ceiling 2 psf with asphalt shingle roofing 3 psf 15 psf.
Natural and engineered wood rest relatively lightly on the foundation but support less live loads than steel and concrete.
