Tip

Load combinations for strength design are applied automatically according to reinforced concrete, stuctural steel and seismic regulations.

Symbols

Em = Combined applied design force on the horizontal and vertical seismic load effects
Emh= The effect of horizontal seismic forces including overstrength
Ev = Vertical seismic load effect

...

When a structure is subject to seismic load effects, the following load combinations is applied in addition to the basic combinations and associated Exceptions in Section 2.4.1. E =f(Ev; Eh) (defined in Section 12.4.2) is combined with the effects of other loads, the following seismic load combinations is applied.

Where the seismic load effect with overstrength, Em = f(Ev; Emh), defined in Section 12.4.3, is combined with the effects of other loads.
