Basic load combinations

TCVN 2737:2023

Combine dead load, live load and optional wind already computed in 2 other tools into a single design load, per formula (1) §6.2a TCVN 2737:2023 — basic combinations only; special/seismic combinations are out of scope.

About the basic load combination tool

Combine dead load, live load and optional wind load into a single design load per formula (1) §6.2a TCVN 2737:2023, including combination factor ψt (§6.4) and importance factor γn (Annex H).

What you enter

Dead/live/wind values already computed by the floor-load and wind-load tools, plus the choice of leading load case.

What the results mean

The factored design load used directly for member checks, together with a note of which basic combination formula was applied.

When to use this tool

Bridging load determination and section checking in coursework; exploring how different leading load cases change the result.

Only basic combinations under §6.2a are covered — special (accidental) and seismic combinations are out of scope.

Calculation method

This tool combines the dead load, live load and optional wind already computed in 2 other tools into a single design load, per formula (1) §6.2a TCVN 2737:2023 with combination factors ψt (§6.4) and importance factor γn (Annex H).

Enter the computed loads and pick the leading load case; the tool applies the corresponding basic combination formula. Basic combinations only — special/seismic combinations are out of scope.
