Appropriate loading for long term settlement
Appropriate loading for long term settlement
(OP)
Hi
I am looking for advice on an appropriate "loading" combination for long term settlement.
I have a concrete ground bearing structure supporting itself and some live load. Should I apply 100% dead load and 100% live load when considering long term settlement or perhaps a reduced live load. If so, how much? Is there any guidance out there I could refer to?
Cheers

RE: Appropriate loading for long term settlement
as to this factor depends on your reference codes.
