What is the partial safety factor for dead load in combination of DL+LL+WL/EL for limit state of serviceability, where DL=Dead load,LL=imposed load , WL=wind load, EL=earthquake load ?(a) 1.0(b) 0.8(c) 1.5(d) 1.2I have been asked this question in an online quiz.My enquiry is from Determination of Wind Loads & Load Combinations in section Structural Analysis, Loading and Load Combinations of Design of Steel Structures

Answer»

Right CHOICE is (b) 0.8

Explanation: For limit STATE of strength, the LOAD COMBINATION is 1.2(DL+LL+WL/EL), for limit state of serviceability, the load combination is 1.0DL+0.8LL+0.8WL/EL, where DL=Dead load,LL=imposed load, WL=wind load, EL=earthquake load.
