LOADS - iccsafe.org
GENERALAll structures must be designed to support theirown weight along with any superimposed forces,such as the dead LOADS from other materials, liveloads, wind pressures, seismic forces, snow and iceloads, and earth pressures. These vertical and lateralloads may be of short duration such as those fromearthquakes, or they may be of longer duration, suchas the dead LOADS of machinery and design must consider all possible appliedforces along with the interaction of these forces onthe structure. load COMBINATIONSBecause various LOADS may act on a structuresimultaneously, load combinations should beevaluated to determine the most severe conditionsfor design.
3.2.1 ALLOWABLE STRESS DESIGN LOAD COMBINATIONS The goal of allowable stress design is to proportion the structure so that it can resist the loads that are expected to occur during the life of the
