What is the difference between factored and unfactored load?
Can you explain to me the difference between factored and unfactored load?
Sure, I can do that. Unfactored loads are simply the loads acting on a structure without any safety factor or increase in load due to unforeseen circumstances. Factored loads, on the other hand, are the loads multiplied by a safety factor to account for potential overloading or other unexpected conditions.
