HPS - Helical Pier Selection Steps
...Overview Helical Piers Pier Selection Helix Diameter Caps Brackets SLB Driveheads products Helical Pier Selection STEPS IN PIER SELECTION 1. Determine applied loads on pile: dead load, live load & safety factors. 2. Determine site specific soils information: soil type, soil description, soil classification, water table levels and depth of frost penetration. See #1.

BeamChek Structural Engineering Features
...member and the status of each is plainly listed as OK or FAIL. You may change the width or depth with a mouse click and have it recalculated instantly without leaving the form! The dead load deflection can be reviewed for its impact on the beam's appearance in the project and a camber height is recommended. Custom glu-lam grades, glu-lam 'header'... See #2.

The New Columbia Joist Company - Joist Design Data Sheet # 2
...uplift forces must be determined by the design professional and shown on the contract drawings as NET UPLIFT. (The net uplift force on the roof joist is the gross uplift minus the dead load including the joist weight.) This temporary reversal of loading creates compression forces in the bottom chord which, as a result, may require lateral bracing. See #3.

sharonstair.com: Features of Sharon Stairs
...key features: Key Features • Exceptional value-cost 30% less overall compared to plans and spec stairs. • Technically advanced products made to handle required live and dead load requirements. • Surpass building codes. • Meet ADA accessibility requirements. • Install quickly and accurately. • Offer a wide range... See #4.

Structural Design
...small structures to the larger and heavier framing systems used in commercial projects such as arenas or storage facilities. Because wood has a high strength to weight ratio, dead load is a smaller component of the total load factor than for heavier materials. Usually the lightest or least involved construction type appropriate for a given... See #5.

Treated Wood - D-Blaze®
...Group 1 species, stress level 2, with exterior gluelines and used in dry service conditions. Allowable uniformly distributed load for floors is 50 PSF live load and 5 PSF dead load or a 200 pound concentrated load. Roof loads are 30 PSF live load and 8.5 PSF dead load or a 200 pound concentrated load. Deflection based on 1/180 of the span. See #6.

Elastizell - Products: Engineered Fill - Pipelines & Voids
Tunneled Pipeline Applications Reduces lateral pressure and completely fills void. Faster installation. Abandoned Pipelines Eliminates surface trenching and disruption. Reduces dead load and settlement. Since no compacting is required, workers are safely out of the excavation during void filling. Complete void filling is verified by the... See #7.

IDEAL Brand Commercial Garage Doors
Note: Torsion spring operated doors with higher-than-normal cycle life requirements may be specified with 25, 000, 50, 000, or 100, 000 cycle springs. D Back to Top Dead Load A static applied load. A load without movement. Door Frame The frame into which the door fits, consisting of two upright members called doorjambs, and a door header. See #8.

Enwood Structures - Shelters & Pavilions - The Brandywine
ROOF PITCH The front to back pitch of the roofline, and the side roofline pitch is 4/12. DESIGN LOADS The typical design load allows for: 12 pounds per square foot dead load 30 pounds per square foot live load 20 pounds per square foot wind load. (Equates to 100 MPH) There are variables that affect the design sizes of the members, ... See #9.

TrimJoist Uniform Load Span Charts - Phone: (800) 844-8281
Spans are based on uniformly loaded joists and include allowances for repetitive use members. 2. Live loads of 40 psf assumed. Additional dead loads are due to various combinations of construction materials. 3. All TrimJoist™ products are cambered to compensate for dead load deflections. Do not install them upside-down. See #10.
