| Allowable Load Combination and Ultimate Load Combination tables |
Each row in a table represents the ID for a different load combination.
- LC No. – The Load Case number used to identify the load case. You can type a value or use the default. For service load combinations, the default starts with 101 and for ultimate load combinations, the default starts with 201.
- Check Box - Set the check boxes of the combinations that you want to use.
- SWF - The self-weight modification factor this combination which can be used to control the percent of foundation self weight considered in concrete checks.
- SBF - The soil bearing factor which can be used to increase the soil bearing capacity (e.g., for seismic or wind loads).
- Load Type columns - Primary Load cases are assigned a load type, each of which is represented by a separate column in the load combination tables. Type the load combination factor for a given load type in the cell.
Tip: The cell with zero values appears in gray color where as with values other than zero it appears in blue.
To add a new load combination to the table, add factors to the last (empty) row.
Note: To add or change any combination from the default list (kept in an external .INI file) you need to click the Update Table button after making changes.
