Typically, the load alters the structure’s shape, which can lead to plastic deformation. It is described as a uniform load when this loading force is distributed over an entire region of an element, ...

Building construction is the anatomy and physiology of the structural fireground ... situation is called a uniformly distributed load. Building codes require a design live load of 40 psf for ...

researchers created their components with a standardized thickness to allow for more evenly distributed weight loads. The result—the Modular and Uniformly Thick Origami-Inspired Structure ...
