Infreduetion AA difference of the vertical forces acting on a structure (due to their weight and Use], the wind forces and seismic forces act horizontally. Ifso, is there any difference between each other? The answer is yes and there is a vast difference between each other. This short arlicle seeks to clatify these differences in the simplest woy possible, Fist of allremember that itis @ structure. The function of a structure is to transmit forces. In other words, the forces "travel through the structure from its point of application to the ground (Figure 1), 3 Faure 1, Transmission of forces in a structure Alupes forces {A structure is subjected to many kinds of forces. n simpified form could be grouped into two types: * Vertical forces, which are due, for example, to the weight of the structure and because if don't move are called dead loads (Figure 2.1) and those due fo persons, 900d, that being mobile, are called live loads (Figure 2.2), ‘e-mail: Igm@une.net.co - www. lgm.com.co Medesin = Colombia Mejia C. ro Consuilfor Figure 21 Figure 22 Figura 22.
