Temporary Works Load Calculator
Apply independently established load-combination factors to signed temporary-works case vectors, no code/default combinations or structural capacity. Caller independently establishes units, regime, calibration and applicability; this does not establish design-code compliance, authenticity, operational safety, treatment efficacy or a validated forecast.
Description
A load combination multiplies individual load components by independently chosen factors.
A load combination multiplies individual load components by independently chosen factors.1
The resulting row totals describe the supplied cases without selecting design-code combinations. Use this tool to calculate temporary Works Load from the supplied measurements and assumptions.
When to use Temporary Works Load Calculator
Use this tool to calculate temporary Works Load from the supplied measurements and assumptions. Establish the SI units or caller unit basis, load signs, measurement interval, model conditions and independently chosen coefficients or references.
How to use Temporary Works Load Calculator and understand its results
- Establish the SI units or caller unit basis, load signs, measurement interval, model conditions and independently chosen coefficients or references.
- Enter callerTemporaryLoadCaseMagnitudesN, callerIndependentCombinationFactors, using the field meanings and rules below, then run the tool.
- Read callerCombinedCaseLoadsN. Interpret the fields using their units, signs and evidence conventions below.
- If input validation fails, correct the reported field and run again. Before applying the result, check reference scope, model assumptions and any missing evidence or placeholder values.
| Input field | Meaning | Value type | Requirement |
|---|---|---|---|
| callerTemporaryLoadCaseMagnitudesN | Caller temporary load case magnitudes n | list of list of number | Required |
| callerIndependentCombinationFactors | Caller independent combination factors | list of number | Required |
Enter a nonempty rectangular finite load matrix and nonnegative factors matching its columns. Return each row's dot product with those factors in N. Load values may be signed; no installed design combinations or component loads are generated.
combinedLoadN_row=ΣloadN_row,column×factor_column Use the exact units, boundary rules, ordering and missing-evidence conventions above.
| Output field | Meaning | Value type |
|---|---|---|
| callerCombinedCaseLoadsN | Caller Combined Case Loads N; follow the units, sign, ordering and evidence convention stated above | list of number |

}Limitations and assumptions
The resulting row totals describe the supplied cases without selecting design-code combinations. Interpretation depends on the units, sampling scope and exact model described above.
All listed fields require explicit values. Unexpected fields, incorrect types, nonfinite numbers and sparse evidence arrays fail validation; the specific bounds and alignment requirements are stated above. Extremely large inputs or outputs can also be rejected. An input error is distinct from a successful result reporting false, no matches or missing evidence.
