Manually defined combinations (Eurocode)
As you build up combinations manually, the combination factors are automatically adjusted as loadcases are added and removed from the combination.
If you add/remove a loadcase type from a combination - the factors are defaulted as follows:
-
'Self weight' - default Strength factor = 1.35, default Service factor = 1.0
-
'Slab Dry' - default Strength factor = 1.35, default Service factor = 1.0
-
'Dead' - default Strength factor = 1.35, default Service factor = 1.0
-
'Imposed'- default Strength factor = 1.5, default Service factor = 1.0
-
'Roof Imposed'- default Strength factor = 1.5, default Service factor = 1.0
-
With an Imposed loadcase
-
'Wind' - default Strength factor = 0.75, default Service factor = 0.5
-
'Snow' - default Strength factor = 0.75, default Service factor = 0.5
-
-
With No Imposed loadcase
-
'Wind' - default Strength factor = 1.5, default Service factor = 1.0
-
With Wind loadcase
-
'Snow' - default Strength factor = 0.75, default Service factor = 0.5
-
-
With no Wind loadcase
-
'Snow' - default Strength factor = 1.5, default Service factor = 1.0
-
-
- 'Snow drift'- default Strength factor = 1.0, default Service factor = 1.0
-
'Temperature'- default Strength factor = 1.0, default Service factor = 1.0
-
‘Settlement'- default Strength factor = 1.0, default Service factor = 1.0
