Easyload combinationsLRFD
For dead load D = 100 kN and live load L = 50 kN, what is the value of the specified load combination 1.2D + 1.6L?
- A150 kN
- B170 kN
- C200 kN
- D240 kN
Show solutionHide solution
Answer: C. 200 kN
Substitute into the given combination: 1.2(100) + 1.6(50) = 120 + 80 = 200 kN. This evaluates the specified combination; it does not compare other load combinations.
