The loads combinations are combinations of load cases for which the structure is designed and checked.
On this page you can find the loads combinations at serviceability limits states SLS and ultimate limits states ULS ready for using including the accidental limits states ALS, generated according to Eurocode-1 considering the dead loads and varying loads (live, wind and thermal) and accidental (seismic).
Loads cases considered :
G : dead load
Q : live load
W : wind load
Temp : thermal effect
SEI : seismic load
