Three load cases shall be considered,
permanent and variables considered as

In each of these load cases, several

Service and operating loads such as

The environmental effect such as snow,
ice, wind pressure are also variable loads.
Consideration shall be given to temporary

In the variable load case, dead load and

The load combinations of permanent loads

normal loads.
4.3.1.3 Exceptional loads
In the exceptional load case, load and
tension load acting simultaneously with the
largest of the following occasional loads
shall be considered:
– loss of conductor tension,
– seismic loads and
– buoyant force to the foundation at
flooding.

Note: In any case the structural calculation

high humidity and condensation,

equipment designed for such conditions
