Live loads (wind and earthquake) are calculated for the operating and hydrotest conditions. In both cases, the
basic loads calculated are identical but the hydrotest live loads are usually a fraction of the operating live load.
These hydrostatic fractions (percents) are entered in the live load definitions.
If Consider Vortex Shedding is selected on the Design Constraints Tab, the following loads may also be
used:
