Eurocode 0 Load Combinations Guide

The document discusses load combinations and verification of ultimate limit states according to Eurocode 0 and the National Annex. It defines the equations used to calculate the design value of the effect of actions (Ed) which must be less than or equal to the design value of resistance (Rd). Ed is calculated as the product of partial safety coefficients and load factors for different load types, including characteristic dead loads, variable loads, and combination values.

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
