Load Combination

IABSE Reports, 2013
<p>A universal theory on combining loads in structural design is missing. The current codes include three methods: dependent, semi-dependent and independent. These methods are mutually contradicting and inconsistently applied: The paper presents arguments that the structural loads must always be combined dependently.

Extreme Loads and Load Combinations

Journal of Ship Research, 1995
A simple model for combining extreme responses of correlated load components has been developed in this paper for use in design of marine structures. The combined response has the form fc = f1 + Kf2 for a two correlated load case and fc = f1 + K2f2 + K3f3 for a three correlated load case.

Stochastic Analysis of Load Combination

Journal of Engineering Mechanics, 1998
This paper reviews the methods for combining loads idealized as Poisson processes. Hasofer's method for combining a Poisson square wave load with a Poisson impulsive load is extended to the case of a combination of one square wave load with an arbitrary number of impulsive loads. The problem of considering the effects of dead load is addressed.

Load Combinations and Load Factors for Construction

Journal of Performance of Constructed Facilities, 1996
There is a current ASCE Standards Committee activity to develop a standard that provides engineers and designers with minimum recommended design loads for construction. This paper reports on the development of load combinations and load factors (for strength design) for this load standard.

Simplified load combination factor for snow load

Structural Safety, 1993
Abstract The load combination factor for snow load is formulated by a simplified development based on Turkstra's rule for load combination and the Gumbel distribution for the snow load model. The probability of exceedance expression is compared with an existing probabilistic load model.

The Interface Crack Under Combined Loading

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1988
The interface crack subjected to a combined tension-compression and shear loading is considered in the Comninou formulation, which by properly incorporating contact zones at the crack tips avoids contradictions, such as overlapping of material. It is shown that the resulting integral equation can be solved exactly.

Limit Loads of Circular Plates Under Combined Loading

Journal of Applied Mechanics, 1973
Limit loads of circular plates under combined transverse and in-plane loading are given for the von Mises yield condition. Ivanov’s approximation to the Ilyushin yield surface is used. Collapse load interaction curves and stress fields are given for simply supported and clamped plates.

Load combination in codes

Structural Safety, 1993
Abstract This paper presents a study of load combination especially the simplified method with reduced combination values which is used in many codes. The study is performed through calculation of combination values according to probabilistic principles.

On combinations of load effects

Journal of Constructional Steel Research, 1990
Abstract A procedure for a probabilistic evaluation of load-effect combinations is proposed. It is based on simplified representations of the time-dependent responses of a structure to individual loadings by marginal curves and on the extreme magnitudes of responses.

Durability under Combined Loads

2010
So far deterioration of cement-based materials has been studied in most cases under single actions. In reality, however, materials are exposed to mechanical and environmental load combinations. Actions of combined loads on building materials can be subdivided into simultaneous actions and successive actions.
