Which is the true about load path? - correct answer ✔The shortest load path
is the most economical in all loads want to travel eventually to the supports or
foundations
What's wrong with not having columns aligned from the roof to the
foundation? - correct answer ✔all of these reasons: it cause friction between
the architect and structural engineer, it can make the buildings more
expensive when large members are needed to transfer the load, it makes the
