# Load Combination Generator Skill ## Purpose The Load Combination Generator Skill creates load combinations for structural design per ASCE 7, AASHTO LRFD, and other applicable codes for both ASD and LRFD design methods. ## Capabilities - Generate ASCE 7 load combinations (ASD and LRFD) - Generate AASHTO LRFD load combinations - Support for special load combinations (seismic, wind) - Custom load factor specification - Load case matrix generation - Strength and serviceability combinations - Fatigue load combinations - Multiple load path considerations ## Usage Guidelines ### When to Use - Developing structural design loads - Creating analysis load cases - Checking code compliance - Evaluating critical load patterns ### Prerequisites - Load types identified - Risk category determined - Design method selected - Applicable codes identified ### Best Practices - Include all applicable load types - Consider load direction effects - Document any special combinations - Verify combination applicability ## Process Integration This skill integrates with: - Structural Load Analysis - Reinforced Concrete Design - Structural Steel Design - Bridge Design LRFD ## Configuration ```yaml load-combination-generator: design-codes: - ASCE7-22 - ASCE7-16 - AASHTO-LRFD - IBC-2024 design-methods: - LRFD - ASD load-types: - dead - live - wind - seismic - snow - rain ``` ## Output Artifacts - Load combination tables - Load case matrices...
