Loadcase types (Eurocode)
The following loadcase types can be created:
Loadcase type | Calculated automatically | Include in the Combination Generator | Imposed load reductions | Pattern load |
---|---|---|---|---|
self weight (beams, columns and walls) | yes/no | yes/no | N/A | N/A |
slab wet | yes/no | N/A | N/A | N/A |
slab dry | yes/no | yes/no | N/A | N/A |
dead | N/A | yes/no | N/A | N/A |
imposed | N/A | yes/no | yes/no | yes/no |
roof imposed | N/A | yes/no | N/A | N/A |
wind | N/A | yes/no | N/A | N/A |
snow | N/A | yes/no | N/A | N/A |
snow drift | N/A | yes/no | N/A | N/A |
temperature | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
settlement | N/A | N/A | N/A | N/A |
seismic | N/A | yes | N/A | N/A |
As shown above, self weight loads can all be determined automatically. However, other gravity loadcases have to be applied manually as you build the structure.
