🙌 Understanding design loads and load paths is crucial for any structural engineer. In this video, I’ll break down the basics of design loads and explain how they impact your structural design, from avoiding overdesign to preventing underdesign. We’ll also look at load paths and how they determine the stress each element will experience, whether you're working by hand or using FEA software. Knowing the right loads and how they travel through your structure is key to ensuring your designs are efficient and safe. The more confident you are in your load calculations, the lower you can make your safety factor without compromising integrity.
