Strength I loads (moment)

Maximum 1.25*DW + 1.5*DW + 1.75*(LL + IM)
Minimum 0.9*DC + 0.65*DW + 1.75*(LL + IM)
The loads shown in the DL columns reflect the values from Service I. The appropriate load combination (max or min) is
shown in the total loads columns. The minimum load factors for dead load are used when dead load and future wearing
survace stresses are of opposite sign to that of the live load.

hte cross-section and a straight line parallel to the neutral axis, divided by teh number of bars or wires; for calculation
purposes the thickness of clear concrete cover used to compute A shall not be taken to be greater than 2.0 in.
