To find: maximum combined load for LRFD for a given loading
Answer to Problem 2.1PFS
Explanation of Solution
Given data:
Calculation:
Consider the dead load:
For the maximum combined load:
Substitute the value of D as
Now, consider dead load, live load and snow load:
For the maximum combined load:
Substitute the values of D as
Now consider dead load, snow load and live load:
For the maximum combined load:
Substitute the values of D as
Now consider dead load, wind load, live load and snow load:
For the maximum combined load:
Substitute the values of D as
Now consider dead load and wind load:
For the maximum combined load:
Substitute the values of D as
Now consider dead load, earthquake load, live load and snow load:
For the maximum combined load:
Substitute the values of D as
Now consider dead load and earthquake load:
For the maximum combined load:
Substitute the values of D as
Now look for the maximum value in all load combinations calculated earlier.
Conclusion:
The maximum load combination is dead load, live load and snow load with magnitude
