Hello,

I was told that there are load combinations that considers the Wind Velocity or the SDC of the structure I'm not aware of this load combinations so I tried to find it in ASCE 7-10 or IBC 2012 but to no luck wasn't able to.

Please guide/help me on where to find this combinations.

Thank you.

It sounds like there might be some confusion in terms, but I think what you want to know is this:

Load combinations with the term "W" for wind load are affected by wind velocity.
Load combinations with the term "E" for earthquake loads (aka "seismic loads") are affected by the Seismic Design Category (SDC).

just call me Lo.
 
Load Combinations are in ASCE-7-10 Chapter 2. Or IBC-2018 Chapter 16 - section 1605. IBC generally just duplicates the ASCE-7 LC's. There are Load Combinations for both the ASD and the LRFD methods.


All I know is P/A and Mc/I
 
In SDC A, the seismic combinations in chapter 12 probably don’t apply
