Imposed load and non-dominating environmental load: QEI,
Snow and non-dominating wind: QWS,
Wind and non-dominating snow: QSW,Table 11.4 shows the results for (^5) Q=0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7 and 0.9. It is seen that QIE, = 0.3,
QEI, =0.3 and QWS, =QSW, =0.1 are reasonable values for situations where the two variable
loads are of the same importance.
(^5) Q=0.1 (^5) Q=0.3 (^5) Q=0.5 (^5) Q=0.7 (^5) Q=0.9
QIE, 0.75 0.6 0.3 0.25 0.0
QEI, 0.6 0.45 0.3 0.05 0.0
QWS, 0.9 0.6 0.1 0.0 0.0
QSW, 0.7 0.45 0.1 0.0 0.0
