L RFD Comb Example

The document describes load combinations for a beam subjected to loads in four locations. A table shows the magnitudes of different load types (dead, live, roof live, wind, snow, earthquake, ice/rainwater) that must be simultaneously applied at each load location. Load location 1 is a midspan point load, location 2 is a uniform load, location 3 is an axial load, and location 4 is a lateral point load at midspan. Each row gives the load values that comprise the total load case that must be considered.

LRFD Load Combinations

In this example, a Beam is subjected to loads in four different locations. Each load contains components of different
load types (i.e. Dead, Live, etc.). The final beam must simultaneously support all the loads indicated in each row of the table.
In other words, each row in the table gives the magnitudes of the loads that must be applied simultaneously.
