Data Source and Methodology
All calculations are strictly based on the formulas and data provided by Eurocode 0 & 1. All calculations are based on these authoritative sources.
The Formula Explained
ULS Load Combination: 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk
Glossary of Terms
- Dead Load (Gk): Permanent load acting on the structure.
- Live Load (Qk): Variable load acting on the structure.
How It Works: A Step-by-Step Example
For a dead load of 10 kN/m² and a live load of 5 kN/m²:
Load Combination 1 = 1.35 × 10 + 1.5 × 5 = 20.25 kN/m²
