A point load is the force of a load that is applied to a concentrated point. Point load is sometimes referred to as equivalent concentrated load (ECL).

= Point load v uniformly distributed load =

Point load is in contrast to a uniformly distributed load (UDL), where the magnitude of the load is distributed or spread across the whole region of an element such as a beam or slab. In other words, the magnitude of the UDL remains uniform throughout the whole element.

For example, when a point load is placed on a steel storage rack, its weight is significantly concentrated in one (or more) places. On the other hand, when a UDL is placed on a steel storage rack, its weight is evenly distributed over the entire surface of the rack's beams or decks.

= Calculating point load =

Point load can be determined by calculating the total load over the object's surface or length and attributing the entire load to its centre. It is also possible to calculate point load by multiplying the intensity of udl with its loading length to determine the point load.

Other related types of load include uniformly varying loads, coupled loads and so on.
