Floor Loading Simplified - Essential Knowledge for Architects & Engineers

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOQ_D0oq27oCPBudQXnRf8G4UNQAOpEcv Dr Jawed Qureshi explains floor loading with real-life examples. Load path in most iconic structures, such as Exchange House London, Olympic Velodrome London and Eiffel Tower is discussed. Then Dr Qureshi goes further to expand on permanent and variable loads and how these loads make their way via members to foundations. For Civil and Mechanical Engineers and students, this lecture is must watch if you want to learn floor loading in building structures quickly.
