For current IBC Load Combinations for Aluminum Bleachers, do Horizontal Sway and Wind Occur at the same time? Isn't Horizontal Sway due to people (live load) in the stands and you wouldn't have people in the stands during a Hurricane???

If anyone has ICC 300 and could provide the Service Load Combinations (for foundation design) I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you,
Hank.
