Just curious, do you guys have to pay for the link to CR4 from fellow students or do your Instructors hand it out for free?

What does your class notes say? Or did you take notes while the subject matter was being discussed??

This sure looks and smells like a home work assignment

Dead loads should be calculated first, live loads last.

Dead loads should be buried immediately after calculation, lest they stink.

Too late; this one already does.

Can't anybody do a search?

Lyn, its late already and please do not shout at me, but would you not kill the live load and just search the internet on how to calculate the dead load?

The only concern I had was the added smell but then the dead loadd was already there . . .

From my civil undergraduate days, I remember that a Dead Load can be determined if it appears to be:

" Deceased, passed-on, ceased-to-be, demised, no-more, late, stiff, resting in peace, pushing daisies, expired, late,..."

A Live Load is alive iff it moves, unless it is either "Resting, stunned" or

"nailed to the perch".
