Load capacity
With load is in the structural analysis , the absolute stress limit of indeterminate static system before reaching the kinematic condition described.
In the load-bearing method , mostly in steel or reinforced concrete construction , the local plasticizing of components or fasteners is permitted. With every plastic swivel or displacement joint , the static indeterminacy is reduced until at last a displaceable system is present.
The load capacity up to this point is the absolute load capacity.
