Load path from roof to foundation.

Actually when load is coming on any structure. This video shows the load transfer from slab to foundation in a very detail way. Load paths the economy and efficiency of the structure is improved by the following. The process starts at the top with the uppermost roof element tracing the loads down through the structure to the foundation.

Then structure will transfer. Engineered structures are composed of multiple types of members that connect in order to move the loads from the top to the bottom of the structure. These elements define the mechanism of load transfer in a building known as the load path. Loads in any building have to travel from the roof and upper floors down to the ground.

Vertical load path from roof to ground on a platform and pile construction building. Load paths will vary depending on construction type and design. Adjacent framing members will receive more load if a connection fails. Involving fewer structural elements.

The continuous load path from the roof to the foundation has to resist uplift pressure that can rip roofs away from walls shear forces in the walls that brace the building sliding forces that tend to push the house off the foundation and overturning forces that tend to tip the house. Minimizing the load path to the foundation.
