8 DETERMINING SITE-SPECIFIC LOADS Volume II
load determination and design guidance for the hazards that are listed in the figure. In such instances,
supplemental guidance should be sought.
The loads and load combinations used in this Manual are required by ASCE 7-10 unless otherwise noted.
Although the design concepts that are presented in this Manual are applicable to both Allowable Stress
Design (ASD) and Load and Resistance Factor Design (LRFD), all calculations, analyses, and load
combinations are based on ASD. Extension of the design concepts presented in this Manual to the LRFD
format can be achieved by modifying the calculations to use strength-level loads and resistances.
