Estimated
I send a personal interpretation for the static analysis of the loads cases for earthquake.(Not linear analysis with Earthquake)

Bearing in mind that in the zone where my analyses are projected are considered to be cases of earthquake in the vertical axis.

Next, I define the combination of Loads cases for the Not linear analysis with Earthquake

Not linear analysis with Earthquake

LOADS CASES - STRESS TYPE - OUTPUT STATUS - COMB METHOD - MONITORING RESULT
1: W+T1+P1 - OPE - Supress - 0 - 0
2: W+T2+P1 - OPE - Keep - 0 - Restraints, (Loads)
3: W+P1 SUS - Keep - 0 - Stress Code & Restraints, (Loads)
4: W+T1+P1+U1 - OCC - Supress- 0 - 0
5: W+T1+P1+U2 - OCC - Supress- 0 - 0
6: W+T1+P1+U3 - OCC - Supress- 0 - 0
7: L1-L3 - EXP - Keep - lgebraic - Stress Code
8: L5-L1 - OCC - Supress - Algebraic - 0
9: L6-L1 - OCC - Supress - Algebraic - 0
10: L7-L1 - OCC - Supress - Algebraic - 0
11: L8+L9 - OCC - Supress - SRSS - 0
12: L8+L10 - OCC - Supress - SRSS - 0
13: L2+L11 - OCC - Keep - Scalar - Restraints, (Loads)
14: L2-L11- OCC - Keep - Scalar - Restraints, (Loads)
15: L2+L12- OCC - Keep - Scalar - Restraints, (Loads)
16: L2-L12- OCC - Keep - Scalar - Restraints, (Loads)
17: L3+L11 - OCC - Keep - Scalar - Stress Code
18: L3-L11 - OCC - Keep - Scalar - Stress Code
19: L3+L12 - OCC - Keep - Scalar - Stress Code
20: L3-L12 - OCC - Keep - Scalar - Stress Code
21: L13+L14....L19+L20 - OPE - Keep - SignMax - Restraints, (Loads)
22: L13+L14....L19+L20 - OPE - Keep - SignMin - Restraints, (Loads)

where:
T1&P1.- They are Design conditions
T2&P2.- thet are Operations conditions

wait for commentaries

thanks
