Steel Structure Design - Engineering

Q1:

Pick up the correct statement from the following:

A Dead load includes self-weight of the structure and super-imposed loads permanently attached to the structure

B Dead loads change their positions and vary in magnitude

C Dead loads are known in the beginning of the design

D None of these.

ANS:A - Dead load includes self-weight of the structure and super-imposed loads permanently attached to the structure

Without design and selection of size of members, dead load not known only design load is known hence C is wrong.
