Generate Load Combinations for Design

The design of concrete shear wall is based on combinations of loads rather than individual loads. Use the load combination generator to create the code specified load combinations.

  • Select Combinations > Generated….
  • Select IBC2006 (BS 8110 1997) in the Code for Combinations dropdown.
  • Enter 1.113 for Sds
  • Use reduced factor for snow.
  • Click [Generate]
  • Click [OK]

Load combinations can be turned on and off for consideration in the design. The more load combinations that are turned "on", the longer a design will take.
