Loads Generator creates loads combinations for the structure. Building type is defined by System and is dominating as informative factor.

 

The reliability class index can be converted into annual failures of probability as follows:

 

Reliability Class

Annual failure probability

RC3

10E-7

RC2

10E-6

RC1

10E-5

 

Loads combinations are generated according to national code EN 1990 rules as shown on the grid. The rules may be ignored by checking the rule with index None.
