Ultimate limit states (Eurocode 0 DK)
Deformation of the structure or structure members
Verification of ultimate limit states – STR/GEO (Page 42)
Deformation of the ground
Ed ≤ Rd Ed the design value of the effect of actions
Rd the design value of the corresponding resistance.
Variable load dominant
Ed = KFI . γG . Gk + KFI . γQ,1 . Qk,1 + KFI . γQ,2 . Ψ0 . Qk,2 + KFI . γQ,3 . Ψ0 . Qk,3
KFI Consequences class (See table B1 below)
γ Partial coefficient (Safety factor)
Ψ combination Value of variable load (See table
A1.1 below)
Gk Characteristic dead load (calculated)
Qk Characteristic variable load (Snow calculated,
Imposed load look-up)
Ed = KFI . 1 . Gk + KFI . 1,5 . Qk,1 + KFI . 1,5 . Ψ0 . Qk,2 + KFI . 1,5 . Ψ0 . Qk,3
