I am using SAP 2000 to design a steel frame structure using AISC360-10, according to SAP2000 documentations, the generated load combos defined in ASCE7-2010. I have four load cases Dead, Live, Roof live, and wind loads. I noticed that SAP2000 generated combinations according to ASCE7-2010, but one of the generated cases (specifically number 9) is
1.2D + 1.2L + 1.6R + 1W

This case is not mentioned in ASCE7 nor the SAP2000 documentation. Is there something wrong? or am I missing something?

Thanks for your help
