canadian load combos
i'm working with the canadian building code...which i left iin the office. can someone give me the load combination factors for limit state design for d+l ans d+l+siesmic....thanks in advance....i believe the section is 4.3.1
check out our whitepaper library.
from ontario building code 4.1.3.2
1.25d + 1.5l
if d resists overturning, uplift or reversal load effect,
0.85d + 1.5l
seismic:
1.0d+gamma1.0e
plus
1.0d + gamma(1.0l+1.0e) storage and assembly occupancies
or
1.0d + gamma(0.5l + 1.0e) for all other occupancies
gamma = importance factor, = 1.0 "for all buildings, except for those where it can be shown that collapse is not likely to cause injury or other serious consequences, it shall be not less than 0.8"
hope it's not too late for you to get your work done.
