About this listen

When you look at a building, you see walls, floors, and roofs. But what you don’t see is the silent choreography of forces keeping it all standing.

In this AI Short, we break down the concept of the load path the invisible route every force takes from roof to foundation. You’ll learn:

  • Why load paths are essential for structural safety and resilience

  • The difference between gravity and lateral loads

  • How load paths play out in a timber house, a concrete high-rise, and a steel portal frame

  • The role of modern software in optimizing designs in real time

Based on insights from ClearCalcs’ article on load transfer, this episode makes a fundamental engineering principle accessible and memorable whether you’re a student, designer, or site engineer.
