Types of Loads

Distributed Loads: These loads are spread either over a surface area (like a slab or wall) or over a line (like a beam or column). These loads can be uniform or non-uniform. Surface loads are usually measured in pounds per square feet (psf) and line loads are measured in lb/ft or k/ft.
