This section aims to compile the limit states that were previously defined based on AASHTO guidelines. Each limit state input generates two core combination objects (Max/Min), and overall limit state envelopes are produced for strength, service, fatigue, and extreme event limit states. Additionally, you need to create three Load Combination tables Tables for the Substructure, Superstructure, and Superstructure Constructibility categories.
