EN-13480 Code
(OP)
I am involved with a new project using european normative EN-13480.
My question is about the right cases combination based on thermal stresses.

RE: EN-13480 Code
You state "My question is about the right cases combination based on thermal stresses." So what is the question?

From EN-13480, I understand that:
12.3 Flexibility Analysis
eq. 12.3.2-1 (SIGMA 1): SUSTAINED
eq. 12.3.3-1 (SIGMA 2): SUSTAINED + SEISMIC/WIND/SNOW
eq. 12.3.4-1 (SIGMA 3): EXPANSION + SEISMIC/WIND/SNOW
eq. 12.3.4-2 (SIGMA 4): EXPANSION + SEISMIC/WIND/SNOW (if SIGMA 3 is not satisfied)
eq. 12.3.5-1 (SIGMA 5): EXPANSION + SEISMIC/WIND/SNOW (for CREEP RANGE)
eq. 12.3.5-1 (SIGMA 6): ANCHOR MOVEMENTS
I am preparing the Caesar's loads combinations based on this equations.
Any recomendations for SIGMA 3, 4, 5, 6 ?
Thanks.
