Load Sign & Combination Laboratory

Positive D and L act downward. W↑ is entered as a positive uplift magnitude, so it must subtract from downward gravity action.

Teaching combination
Net line load
44.0 kN/m
Net action is downward.
Design-basis note: These three combinations are deliberately limited teaching examples for sign conventions and load-factor mechanics. A real STAAD model must use the project's governing code, edition, load categories, and required combinations.
downward 44.0 kN/m
D
10 kN/m
stabilizing gravity
L
20 kN/m
occupancy/transient
W↑
15 kN/m
upward magnitude
wnet>0w_{net}>0 is drawn downward; wnet<0w_{net}<0 is drawn upward. This explicit sign convention prevents a +W/−W mismatch.
