D = Dead load
Em = Combined applied design force on the horizontal and vertical seismic load effects
Emh= The effect of horizontal seismic forces, including overstrength
L = Live load
Lr = roof live load
S = snow load
W = Wind load
Eh = Heorizontal Horizontal seismic load effect
Ev = Vertical seismic load effect

...

E = f (Ev; Eh) (defined in Section 12.4.2 or 12.4.3.1) is combined with the effects of other loads, according to ASCE 7-16 Section 2.3.1, basic combinations below is are considered.

  • 1.2D + Ev + Eh + L + 0.2S

  • 0.9D - Ev + Eh

...

Load combination requirements in Section 2.3 apply only to strength limit states. Serviceability limit states and associated load factors are covered in Appendix C of ASCE 7-16 covers serviceability limit states and associated load factors.

  • 1.4D

  • 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lr or S)

  • 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S) + (L or 0.5W)

  • 1.2D + 1.0W + L + 0.5(Lr or S)

  • 0.9D + 1.0W

  • 1.2D + Ev + Eh + L + 0.2S

  • 0.9D - Ev + Eh
