0.6D+W Load Comb and 1.0 Factor of Safety
0.6D+W Load Comb and 1.0 Factor of Safety
(OP)
This old thread deals with an internal discussion we are having in my office currently.
thread507-202887: 0.6D+W Load Comb and 1.0 Factor of Safety
In the referenced thread, WillisV states the 0.6D+W combination for overturning assumes a 10% over-estimate in the gravity load (0.9D). Does anyone have wisdom or guidance as to where this idea of an overestimate comes from? Has the wording in the newest IBC cleared this issue up?
Thanks,
Steven
