Loads analysis is performed separately for fire design to generate forces and stresses from specified (unfactored) loads rather than the load combinations used for strength design.
Fire load combinations are generated from live, dead, and snow load types only. Wind and earthquake are excluded due to the low probability of fire occurring at the same time as a severe windstorm or seismic event.
As with ordinary design, load combinations are constructed with all subsets of the load types included.
