NCEES Civil PE Specification Analysis of Structures–Loads and Load Applications: Impact Loads
Problem
A concrete beam is subjected to an impact load from a dropping object. The static load demand on the beam is 500 psf. Consider an impact factor for this type of dynamic load of 30%. If the dropping object exerts a dynamic load of 150 psf, what will be the total load per unit area (in psf) on the beam due to the impact of this dropping object?
