Design situations
(EN1990,cl.3.2(2)P)
EQU: Loss of equilibrium of the structure, (considering for sliding, overturning or uplift)
STR: Internal failure or excessive deformation of the structure of structural member (Design of structural for
strength of members and frames),
GEO: Failure due to excessive deformation of the ground (Design of structural members such as footing,
piles, basement walls, etc.),

2.The combination value ψ0Qk (of an action is intended to take account of the
reduced probability of the simultaneous of two or more variable actions).
3. Frequent value ψ1Qk (exceeded only for a short period of time and is used
primary for the SLS and also the accidental ULS).
