Building Concrete Retaining Wall in a Steel Structure
(OP)
Hi, I have a Ret-Wall in Steel Structure Building. I want to know What are the Load combinations for that "Earth" load on wall in combination with other static and seismic loads. Thanks you,

Where loads H are present, they shall be included as follows:
1. Where the effect of H adds to the primary variable load effect, include H with a load factor of 1.6;
2. Where the effect of H resists the primary variable load effect, include H with a load factor of 0.9 where the load is permanent or a load factor of 0 for all other conditions.
Where H is the load due to lateral earth pressure, ground water pressure or pressure of bulk materials.
