Load cases as self – weight or ceiling are added in the characteristic values. If we input the load cases from the joints we apply the partial factor 1 due to design value extracted from the IDEA StatiCa Connection. Nevertheless in SLS is not this situation so simple due to the fact that design values cannot be separated from the point of view of permanent and variable loads and divided by appropriate partial factors. The reason is non – linear analysis in the IDEA StatiCa Connection app so we cannot use the superposition of the loads. Regarding this effect, we have chosen partial factor 0.75, which is coming out from the equation 1/1.35.
