Understand how dead loads, defined as Permanent Actions within Eurocode 1, can be favourable and unfavourable in a construction.
The twisting of elements within structures due to eccentric loading is best avoided. This note shows structural engineers how to avoid problems that can lead to significant remedial works and/or failures.
