How do you calculate the load capacity of a building?

As an AI language model, I do not have the capability to make computations but a structural engineer would calculate the load capacity of a building by considering several factors such as the type of material the building is made of, the age of the building, the height of the building, and the location of the building. They would also consider factors such as the types and weight of furniture and equipment inside the building, the number of floors and rooms, and the number of occupants. The engineer would conduct structural calculations to determine the maximum amount of weight or load that the building can sustain safely.
