    LOAD COMBINATION-WIND LOAD

    I am using ASCE7-10 and ASCE7-16. and usually I use ASD Load combination Wind Load is always multiplied by 0.6 Question: I am multiplying the qz(velocity pressure) x 0.6 to get q asd does that mean that I cannot multiply the wind load pressure by 0.6 while doing the load combination ? or...
