Dead and Live Loads
Clearly a complex subject, is there any possibility that someone could provide details for calculating D&L Loads @ Higher Education Level. I have an understanding of the principals, but not of how to calculate the D&L Loads on a pitched roof for example. Cheers {unsigned|Ceej18|15:04, 16 January 2006}

Proposed edits
I would like to revise this page to: (a) remove the UK-centrism and focus on staircases (b) introduce more up-to-date terminology e.g. the Eurocode use of terms such as "permanent actions" and "variable actions" If anyone has any view, please post here before I make what may be quite significant changes!

There seems to me to be a contradiction in the wind loads. At first it is stated that the wind is a live load then later it is stated it is not a live load. I'm almost certain (at least in the US) that wind is not considered a live load but someone else should confirm this.
The math in the last section is completely wrong. FYI. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.230.41.168 ( talk) 18:07, 31 January 2011 (UTC)

Merged the sections on "Dead loads" and "Live loads" to the corresponding sections in Structural load. The sections on "Real World Usage" and "Calculating Combined loads" were copied over but then heavily edited and merged into other sections. The Structural loads page should be in the wikiproject for civil engineering, instead of this page, but I don't know how to fix that. -- Panchobook ( talk) 21:27, 25 June 2011 (UTC)
