Hi.
I am trying to
understand difference in these standards in loading combinations.
I am living in post
USSR country and these codes are not accepted here, but sometimes clients refer
to them.
My question is about difference
in loading combinations.
Let's put attention
to factors for wind loading.
In F version Wo has
factor 1.0, in G version the factor is 1.6.
Do I understand
correctly that G version is bringing to increasing of wind load for 1.6 times
compared with F version? Or maybe there is something I didn't understand?
Here are quotations
from mentioned standards:
TIA/EIA-222-F: 2.3.16
Each of the following load combinations shall be investigated when calculating
the
maximum member stresses and structure reactions.
D + Wo
D + 0.75Wi + I
Where
Wo - Design wind load
on the structure, appurtenances, guys, etc. without ice
Wi - Design wind load
on the structure, appurtenances, guys, etc with radial ice
D - Dead weight of
the structure, guys, and appurtenances
I - Weight of ice
TIA-222-G: 2.3.2
Strength Limit State Load Combinations.
Structures and foundations shall be designed so that their design
strength equals or exceeds the load effects of the factored loads in each of
the following limit state combinations:
1.2D + 1.0Dg + 1.6Wo
0.9D + 1.0Dg + 1.6Wo
1.2D + 1.0Dg + 1.0Di
+ 1.0Wi + 1.0Ti
1.2D + 1.0Dg + 1.0E
0.9D + 1.0Dg + 1.0E
Where
D – Dead load of
structure and appurtenance, excluding guy
Dg – Dead load of guy
assemblies
Di – Weight of ice
due to factored ice thickness
E – Earthquake load
Wo – Wind load without
ice
Wi – Concurrent wind
load with factored ice thickness
Thanks in advance for
your replies.
