ACI 318 Appendix C Load Combinations
ACI 318 Appendix C Load Combinations
(OP)
Does anybody ever use the load combos in ACI App C for strength design? I never give them a second thought, but today while working on a footing design I used Enercalc (an older version) to check my hand calcs and the output showed that the program uses App C. Then I pulled out an old college concrete design textbook (Nilson) and in the worked example I looked at he also used App C, though it wasn't stated -- I could just tell from the setup of the equations and the load factors.
When are we supposed to use App C instead of IBC/ASCE 7, and where can I find it in writing?
Thanks...
