Peruskuorma

Peruskuorma, also known as the basic load, is a term used in the field of structural engineering to describe the minimum load that a structure must be designed to withstand. This load is typically determined by the structure's intended use, location, and the materials used in its construction. The basic load includes the weight of the structure itself, as well as any permanent fixtures or equipment that will be installed. In some cases, it may also include a portion of the live load, which is the variable load that the structure will experience during its use, such as the weight of people, furniture, or vehicles. The basic load is an essential consideration in the design and construction of buildings, bridges, and other structures, as it ensures that the structure will be safe and stable under all expected conditions. The calculation of the basic load is a complex process that involves the use of engineering principles and software, and it is typically carried out by a qualified structural engineer.
