load combination of Special moment resisting frame
load combination of Special moment resisting frame
(OP)
Greetings,
as per the Etab documentations/ACI318-14 design of special moment resisting frame table-3.1 mentioned specified combinations in front of the design of shear/moment for the beams and columns(see attached snapshot), my question is, does he mean from this statement(specified combinations) that I have to use the automatically generated load combinations(generated by software), or I can define my own load combinations and the software will be used in the design/check of special moment resisting frame.
otherwise what the exactly meaning from specified combinations in table-3.1.

But why in the etabs documentation manual mentioned this statement (specified combination) because for sure i have to define the combination in order to design the section otherwise how can i design/check the sections without the combination.
Thank you
