Update Table |
Default load combinations are saved in external data files (ACILOAD.INI files). Clicking the Update Table button saves any changes made to the associated table to the file as a default. Otherwise, any changes are saved in the active project file only. |
Delete |
Removes the selected row (load combination) from the associated table. |
Allowable Load Combination and Ultimate Load Combination tables |
Allowable load combinations are load combinations used to check soil pressure and optimize footing plan dimensions. Ultimate load combinations are load combinations used to check for shear and design for reinforcement. The cells represent the factors to be added with the primary load cases, depending upon the rules of the US Standard. Each row in a table represents the ID for a different load combination.
To add a new load combination to the table, add factors to the last (empty) row. |
Generate Load Combination |
Adds the load combinations with the specified factors from the associated table to the Using Loads, Load Cases, and Load Combinations . The child node of each load combination node will represent the Load Case and the factors multiplied with it. |
Load Combination No |
The load combination number starts from 101 and you can also give load combination number of your own choice. If the number exists, the load combination number is automatically incremented with each new load combination as Load Comb and the number. |
