anindya am talking about loads on restraints, so definitely it is compressive. my question is if we use scalar combination the loads on the rest (+Y)is getting reduced in some cases and increasing in some cases due to the change in wind direction.(i.e -x,x or z,-z).if we use absolute combination the loads are just increasing and also the restraint load is in (-Y) direction.
for sus+wind cases:
guide loads are properly reflected in scalar combination and not in absolute.
rest loads are properly reflected in absolute combination and not in scalar.
i need a clear explanation of why is this so?
