Load Combinations - Etabs Building

The document describes 15 cases of load combinations for ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state design situations. The ultimate limit state cases include combinations of permanent loads, variable loads, wind loads, and seismic loads, with factors ranging from 1.0 to 1.5. The serviceability limit state cases include combinations of permanent, variable and wind loads, with factors of 1.0 or lower. Load combinations are provided in a table with factors for permanent, variable, wind and seismic loads.
