About the Structural Load Calculator

Combine the dead, live, snow and wind loads on a structure into a design load.

How to use the Structural Load Calculator

  1. Enter the Dead Load (kN), Live Load (kN), Snow Load (kN) and Wind Load (kN).
  2. Press Factor Total Load.

Tips

  • Dead load is the weight of the structure itself, and live load comes from people and furniture.
  • Real designs must follow local building codes and be checked by an engineer.

Frequently asked questions

What is a load factor?
A safety multiplier applied to loads so that a structure can carry more than expected.
