Hi,
I generated auto load combination in STAAD under Category: GENERAL as per code: AISC with only Dead & Live loads. The load combinations generated are as below. Can anyone tell from where these combinations are extracted? From which code?
LOAD COMB 3 GENERATED AISC GENERAL 1DL*1.0LOAD COMB 4 GENERATED AISC GENERAL 2DL*1.0+LL*1.0LOAD COMB 5 GENERATED AISC GENERAL 3DL*1.0+LL*0.75LOAD COMB 6 GENERATED AISC GENERAL 4DL*0.6
The AISC green book referred to ANSI A58.1 - MINIMUM DESIGN LOADS FOR BUILDINGS AND OTHER STRUCTURES for load combinations. Subsequent versions of the AISC codes started referring the ASCE7 for these combinations. So if you look at the ASD load combinations outlined in ASCE-7, you should find these load combination factors in there.
and from where aisc public load combination are extracted?
