Wind towards the left
3. 0.9D + 1.3W
Wind towards the Right
Wind towards the Left

Similarly, when the wind is blowing at its full strength,
the live load intensity may be reduced.
8
The negative sign with the wind forces only indicates
that the combination is critical when the wind is
producing member forces opposite in sense to that
produced by the dead loads.

Remarks
After getting the values in these columns, the maximum
factored tension and compression may be found out and
entered in the next two columns.
11
The remarks column is used to describe the type of the
member for design such as pure tension member, pure
compression member, member under reversal of
stresses and zero force member.
