Lesson plan
Ultimate load
In engineering, the ultimate load is a statistical figure used in calculations, and should (hopefully) never actually occur. It is used for instance in aerospace engineering, bridge and tunnel construction. This is also commonly used in knowing the properties of metal beams. For example, it is used in experiments such as tensile testing machine (TTM) and universal testing machine (UTM).
