Load Combination Table [SIG]
Strength I - Strength II - Strength III - Strength IV- Strength V - Extreme Event I - Extreme Event II - Service I - Service II - Service III - Service IV - Fatigue I - Fatigue II :
Each row defined here will serve as an input to code check templates and is a way to map the analysis results to code check objects.
This section allows the user to map the previously defined limit states to the load combination table. If the user has defined multiple strength 1 limit states with different factors for substructure and superstructure elements, or if they want to exclude the service 3 limit state for a particular code check component, or if they have defined different factors for the constructibility limit state, they must define separate load combination tables here.
The purpose of this is to specify which results from which stage should be used for the steel I-girder code check and pier code check, and whether the corresponding factors are the same for both. If the answer is the same for both, then there is no need for two separate load combination tables. However, if the answer is no, the user must define two separate rows in this section to differentiate between them.
