Belastungsspanne
Belastungsspanne is a term used in engineering and related disciplines to describe the interval of loads that a component, structure, or system experiences during its operation. It typically refers to the range from the minimum service or dead load up to the maximum admissible or design load. In many contexts the distinction between static and dynamic loading is relevant, and some usages refer to the range considered in a loading envelope for design or analysis.
Determination and interpretation are based on service data, design standards, and loading scenarios. The Belastungsspanne can
Relevance to design and testing is broad: the span informs material choice, cross-section sizing, safety factors,
Applications and examples illustrate its use: in civil engineering, it describes the range of traffic and environmental
Related concepts include load envelope, service load, and design load, which together help characterize the operating
