  • Command:

Load Combination Window Operation Load Combination Window Operation

  • Input
    • Name

      Name of the load combination.

    • Type

      • Superposition: Linearly superpose the results of each load case, outputting only one result item.
      • Discrimination: Superpose the analysis results of each load case after judgment, outputting Max, Min, and All three result items. If the result of a load case is greater than 0, it is superposed in Max; if the result is less than 0, it is superposed in Min; All is the maximum absolute value of Max and Min.
      • Envelope: Obtain the envelope value of each load case result, outputting Max, Min, and All three result items. Max is the maximum value of each load case result, Min is the minimum value of each load case result, All is the maximum absolute value of Max and Min.
      • Square Root of Sum of Squares (SRSS): Treat the response of each random variable as an independent random variable, and use the statistical square root of sum of squares rule to combine the effects of multiple random variables, outputting the SRSS result.
        • For multiple independent random variables X1,X2,...,Xn,X_{1}, X_{2},..., X_{n}, each random variable has a coefficient a1,a2,...,an,a_{1}, a_{2},..., a_{n}, the calculation expression of the SRSS method is:
        SRSS=(a1X1)2+(a2X2)2+...+(anXn)2\mathrm{S R S S}={\sqrt{( a_{1} X_{1} )^{2}+( a_{2} X_{2} )^{2}+...+( a_{n} X_{n} )^{2}}}
      • Absolute Sum (ABSSUM): Used for quickly assessing the maximum load a structure may be subjected to under multiple load cases. By assuming that the maximum responses of all load cases occur simultaneously, the absolute values of the maximum responses of each load case (regardless of direction) are added together to output a total response estimate ABSSUM.
        • For multiple random variables X1,X2,...,Xn,X_{1}, X_{2},..., X_{n}, each random variable has a coefficient a1,a2,...,an,a_{1}, a_{2},..., a_{n}, the calculation expression of the ABSSUM method is:
        ABSSUM=a1X1+a2X2+...+anXnABSSUM= |a_1 X_1| + |a_2X_2| + ...+ |a_nX_n |
      • Permanent Force Others Discrimination: Except for permanent action type loads (bridge completion total and components, dead load action types in additional load cases) which use forced superposition, the analysis results of other type load cases are superposed after judgment, outputting Max, Min, and All three result items. If the result of a load case is greater than 0, it is superposed in Max; if the result is less than 0, it is superposed in Min; All is the maximum absolute value of Max and Min.
