409.3.1 Required strength U shall be at least equal to the

effects of factored loads in Eq. 409 -1 through Eq, 409-7.
The effect of on e or more loads not acting simultaneously
shall be investigated.

\Vhere wind load W has not been reduced by a

The load factor on If. loads due to wcight and pressure

of soil , wa ter in so il, or other mater ials. shall be set
equ al to zero in Eq. 409- 6 and 409 -7 if the structural
action due to H counteracts tha t due to W or E. Where
lateral earth pressur e provides resistance to structur al
