Use of Amplified load combination in SDC -B.
I could not find any section on ASCE 7 that requires the use of amplified load combination(includes omega factor).Could anyone confirm whethere it applies or not for SDC-B. It says SDC C and above per section 12.10.2.1 for collector elements. My thought is there should be situations where it requires otherwise why there is a omega factor for SDC- B sturctural systems.
Would really appreciate your experience and practice.
