2. Tension
3. Shear
4. Bending
5. Torsion (twisting)
Heating and cooling loads - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1. Heating load: Heat loss
btu/hr

, 1. From wells - 100' (30m)
2. From Streams - 50' (15m)
3. From PL or Buildings - 10' (3m)
Septic Tank Drainage - 🧠ANSWER ✔✔1 - Drainage field: Absorption
trenches that drain into field, seeps into soil
2- Seepage Pit: Use when soil is absorbent and water table 2'-0" below pit
