Loadcase types (ASCE 7)
The following loadcase types can be created:
| Type | Calculated automatically | Include in the combination generator | Live 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 |
| live | N/A | yes/no | yes/no | yes/no |
| roof live | N/A | yes/no | yes/no | 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 need to be applied manually as you build the structure.
