Dead Loads

This document lists various building components and their associated dead loads in kilonewtons per meter. It provides dead load values for materials like concrete, masonry, soil, wood, and metals. The loads range from around 1 kN/m for light materials like charcoal up to over 100 kN/m for very dense materials like lead. The document is a reference for engineers to determine dead load contributions from structural and non-structural elements.
