as below Explanation: <<Descente des charges (Vertical) load distribution; grounding out loads (AFNOR nuclear), thrust line [Gordon, Structures, p.181], load path [nCE,16.7.99,p.10, CEi,10.99,p.5], load take-down [nCEI,3/01,p.52]>> [my notes] So, Thrust lines/Load paths/Load takedown for each support/foundation element and for each load case. If you have a certain weight supported by four columns, say, a certain proportion of the total weight will be taken by each column, depending on the eccentricity of the load, the dynamics of the load, etc. It is the calculation of this distribution of load that is referred to as the descente des charges. |
