Has anyone got references for what load combination should be used for total building drift for Eurocode? It’s not super clear. I understand H/500 should be checked against 1.0 * Wind.
Any help appreciated

The load combinations used will be those with wind or seismic loads since those are your lateral loads, ref EC1. I don't know if EC8 explicitly states a load combination (it has been ages since I used EuroCodes)
