ASCE specifies the following load combination in Section 2.4 for ASD:
8. 0.6D + 0.7E
In reviewing the Compress report on a vessel this is noted in the seismic code, but when any of the components are checked for seismic loads the equations apply the following load combination:
0.6D + 1.0E
My question is why does compress drop the 0.7 factor for seismic load?
