Is vegetative roof a dead load or live load?
Although it's counterintuitive, the saturated soil and vegetation are considered a dead load.
What is the difference between a streams suspended load and its bed load?
The difference between a suspended load and a bead load is a suspended load consists of the small particles or rock materials that are dispersed throughout the water and easily carried downstream. The bead load consists of the larger particles that are dragged and bounced along near the bottom of the river.
Where in a river from top to bottom can you find dissolved load suspended load and bed load?
Bed load will be the heavier stuff that will soon fall out of the flow - boulders, gravel, large grains of sand. Suspended load is the finer stuff that the flow can carry further, even as far as the sea, deposited as sand, silt and mud. Dissolved load is the chemicals that will remain in the water until mixed with salt water and become dispersed in the sea.
What does it mean to have structural integrity?
In buiding, structural integrity means the stucture can support the weight of the load and hold together under the load. For example, if a building has structural integrity, the walls can support the load of the rafters and roof.
Can an upstairs floor hold the 150kg weight of a Punch Man?
A well built floor in good condition should cope with a 150kg point load. This is no more than some pieces of furniture or even some people weigh. Also, a "Punch man" is "dead load, which means the weight is not moving (that is called a live load). A live load puts more load onto the building, because it has forces of acceleration beyond that of gravity.
