Hello,
In ASCE 7-05, the self-straining force or temperature load (symbol T) was included only in load combination no. 2 of the LRFD and ASD combinations. It was not added to the earthquake and wind load combinations.
In ASCE 7-10, 'T' is not directly included in any load combination. But according to Section 2.3.5 'where applicable, the structural effects of load T shall be considered in combination with other loads'.
Could anyone shed some light on this topic?
Should the temperature load be considered in all the load combinations?
Regards,
Su
