The design load combinations are the various combinations of the load cases
for which the structure needs to be designed. The design load combinations
are obtained by multiplying the characteristic loads by appropriate partial
factors of safety, γf (BS 2.4.1.3). For BS 8110-1997, if a structure is subjected
to dead load (D), live load (L), pattern live load (PL), snow (S), and wind (W)
loads, and considering that wind forces are reversible, the following load
combinations may need to be considered (BS 2.4.3).
