Definition of Mechanics of Structure
 Types of Load
According to design purpose
 Live load(Imposed Load)
 Dead Load(Static Load)
 Earthquake Load(Dynamic Load)

• According to intensity of load

 Concentrated/Point load
 Distributed Load( Uniformly and non uniformly)

• According to resisting mechanism

 Axial Load
 Bending Load
 Shear/tranverse load
 Twisting load
