To enter new or additional load combinations
Enter the load combination cases by the following 4 methods:
1. The user directly specifies the load combinations
Directly enter the following basic items necessary to define load combinations in the Load Combination List.
No: Numbers are sequentially and automatically assigned in the order of the load combination entries.
Name: Enter the load combination name.
Note
In the case of a construction stage analysis for a bridge structure, the
loads applied in the construction stage analysis are integrated into the
construction stage loads in the analysis. The analysis results are separately
stored as the cases below. We can then obtain the analysis results for
the load cases and their combinations for each construction stage. Separate
load combinations must be specified for the Post CS using the following
load cases and/or general load cases. We cannot however verify the auto-generated
load cases below.
Dead Load (CS): Dead load including Self Weight included in construction stages
Erection Load (CS): Erection load defined by Load Cases to be Distinguished from Dead Load for CS Output of Construction Stage Analysis Control
Tendon Primary (CS): Analysis results due to prestressing forces in tendons
Tendon Secondary (CS): Indeterminate forces resulting from indeterminate condition of the structure
Creep Primary (CS): Results the (imaginary) loads causing creep strain
Creep Secondary (CS): Real member forces resulting from creep strain due to indeterminate structure
Shrinkage Primary (CS): Results for the (imaginary) loads causing shrinkage strain
Shrinkage Secondary (CS): Real member forces resulting from shrinkage strain due to indeterminate structure
Summation (CS): Summation of the results of all the cases above
Note
The results for creep and shrinkage are separated to check the results
individually.
Active: Specify Active if the corresponding load combination is applied in design.
Inactive: The corresponding load combination is not applied in the post-processing mode.
Active: The corresponding load combination is applied in the post-processing mode. (General tab)
Strength/Stress: The corresponding load combination is applied in the post-processing mode (Concrete Design tab) except for the serviceability check (crack and fatigue checks).
Serviceability:
The corresponding load combination is applied in the post-processing mode
(Concrete Design tab) except for the auto-design and strength check of
beam members.
Type: Assign the combination types for analysis results.

For the method of calculating principal stresses, effective stresses and
maximum shear stresses for each load combination type, refer to the explanations
at the bottom of the page.
Description: Short descriptions for the load combinations
Enter the unit load cases and the corresponding scale factors included in the relevant load combination as many times as desired.
Load Case: Select the unit load cases from the load case list or the load combinations defined earlier.
Factor: Enter the load (scale) factors corresponding to the selected unit load cases or load combinations.
2. Select built-in design standards to automatically generate load combinations
Click at the bottom of the load combinations dialog box. Select the following items in the displayed load combination auto-generation dialog box. If is clicked, the load combinations are automatically entered as per the design code based on the user-defined unit load cases.
Note
When accidental torsional moments are considered in Response Spectrum Analysis,
load combinations are generated including the accidental torsional moments
(Rx (ES), Ry (ES)).
Auto Generation Dialog box
Add : Add the generated load combinations to the previously defined load combinations
Replace : Replace the previously defined load combinations with the generated load combinations
Add Envelope: Envelope of load combinations is auto-generated. This is applicable in the General tab only.
Code Selection
Steel: Design code for structural steel
Concrete: Design code for reinforced concrete
SRC: Design code for steel-reinforced concrete composite sections
Footing: Design code for reinforced concrete footings
Design Code : Select the design code to be used for the auto-generation of load combinations (Refer to Note for design load combinations for different codes)
Scale Up Factor : Enter the seismic load scale factor where the seismic load is considered by the response spectrum analysis
Manipulation of Construction Stage Load Case: Select a method of auto-generating load combinations when Construction Stage Analysis has been performed.
Note
This function becomes activated only when the construction stage analysis
data has been created in the model.
ST Only: This option generates load combinations using only (general) static load cases (DL (ST), LL (ST)).
CS Only: This option generates load combinations using only construction stage load cases (DL (CS), LL (CS)).
ST+CS: This option generates load combinations using both (general) static load cases and construction stage load cases together.
Note
When we use such general load types as DL and LL in Static Load Case in
a construction stage analysis, the program internally creates both static
load case (ST) and construction stage load case (CS). There are a number
of possibilities for load combinations using such ST and CS cases.
If we wish to reflect the results of the construction stage analysis into design, we need to select the CS Only option. If we select the ST+CS option, the load cases used in the construction stage analysis are accounted for twice in the form of both static load case type and construction stage load case type. If we select the ST Only option, only the static analysis results are included in the design load combinations in which case the construction stage analysis results will be excluded from the design load combinations.
When we use the construction stage load (CS) type in a construction stage analysis, only the CS type is created after the analysis. In such a case, we need to select the CS Only option. By the same token, we cannot select the ST Only or ST+CS option because ST type loads do not exist.
When we distinguish the ST type and CS type loads in the preparation of data for a construction stage analysis, we need to select the ST+CS option to account for all the loads input in the model.
Consider Orthogonal Effect: When seismic forces are applied in two orthogonal directions, the combination effect is considered.
Set Load Cases for Orthogonal Effect: Set 2 load cases, which will be considered for Orthogonal Effect.
Set Load Cases for Orthogonal Effect dialog box
100% vs. 30%: 100% of seismic load in one direction and 30% of seismic load in the orthogonal direction are summed in absolute values.
SRSS (Square Root of Sum of Square): 100% of seismic loads in both directions are combined in SRSS.
Note
1
While generating the load combinations, the Orthogonal Effect can be applied
only to the Load Cases that are specified in "Orthogonal Load Group".
Note 2
In case where there are three seismic load cases, say EX, EY and EZ, Orthogonal
Effect can be applied to EX-EY, EY-EZ and EZ-EX simultaneously, in V720.
This feature was disabled in the older version. (This is also applicable
to the Response Spectrum Load Case)
Coefficients for Serviceability: Define the Live Load and Wind Load factors for serviceability check (This becomes activated only when Eurocode 2 or Eurocode 3 is selected).
Note
1
If serviceability load combinations are generated using Auto Generation,
the generated load combinations are automatically categorized according
to the load combination type in Design > General Design Parameters
> Serviceability Load Combination Type. However, in case when the load
combinations are generated manually, the user must manually classify the
load combinations into one of three categories, i.e., Quasi-permanent,
Frequent & Characteristic.
Note
2
For the load factors to be applied to serviceability load combinations,
refer to Table A1.1 & A1.4 of prEN 1990:2001.
Note 3
For the procedures to be followed to check serviceability as per Eurocode 2 and Eurocode 3, refer to [Procedure for Serviceability Check as per Eurocode 2] in Design > Concrete Code Check > Beam Checking and [ Procedure for Serviceability Check as per Eurocode 3 ] in Design > Steel Code Check, respectively.

a. The load combination CB1 is an Add type and the types of displayed results are identical to those of general load cases.
b. ENV1 and 2 are Envelope type load combinations and the results are classified into Max, Min and All.
c. CB2 is an Add type load combination but includes an Envelope type load combination ENV1. Therefore, the results are classified into Max, Min and All.
d. 'Max' displays the maximum of the results, 'Min' displays the minimum and 'All' displays the absolute maximum.
Check the option in the Preference menu to produce the 'All' type results with signs instead of the absolute values.
3. Calculation of CB1 stresses (Add type load combination that includes general load cases)
C CB1 = LC1 + LC2
a. Principal stress: Add the stresses of all load cases for each stress component and then recalculate the principal stress based on the sum of the stresses for each stress component.
b. Sig-EFF & Max-Shear: Calculate based on the principal stress calculated from above (*Note: The principal stress, effective stress and maximum shear stress of CB1 are not calculated simply by summing the results of LC1 and LC2.)
4. Calculation of ENV1 stresses (Envelope type load combination that includes general Load Cases or Add type load combinations)
C ENV1 = Envelope (LC2, LC3, LC4)
Principal stress & Sig-EFF & Max-Shear: Display the maximum, minimum and absolute maximum values among the principal stresses of LC2, LC3 and LC4. The same goes for Sig-EFF & Max-Shear.
5. Calculation of CB2 stresses (Add type load combination that includes Envelope type load combinations)
C CB2_max = CB1+ENV1_max
CB2_min = CB1+ENV1_min
CB2_all = CB1+ENV1_all
a. Based on the stresses of 'CB2_max', 'CB2_min' and 'CB2_all' for each stress component, Sig-Max, Sig-Min, Sig-EFF and Max-Shear are recalculated.
b. CB2 load combination includes Envelope type load combinations, but it is an Add type load combination. First, calculate the sum of the stresses of all load cases for each stress component and recalculate the principal stress, effective stress, etc based on the sum of the stresses for each stress component.
6. Calculation of ENV2 stresses (Envelope type load combination that includes Envelope type load combinations) ? The calculation method is identical to that for ENV1.
C ENV2_max = MAX[LC4, CB1, max(CB2)]
ENV2_min = MIN[LC4, CB1, min(CB2)]
ENV2_all = MAX[abs(LC4), abs(CB1), all(CB2)]
Note
1. This calculation method is identically applicable to the load combination
that includes the load cases whose results are classified into max, min
and all, i.e., the load cases such as moving load cases, settlement load
cases and time history load cases.
2. The 'all' condition of an Envelope type load combination or an Add type
load combination that includes an Envelope type load combination produces
the maximum of absolute values. Whether to produce the values with signs
or without signs can be determined from the Tools>Preferences.
