Ex. office withlife load Qk considered as the leading variable action, Wind load Wk and
snow load Sk being accompanying actions :
Ed = 1.35 Gk + 1.5 Qk + 0.6 * 1.5 W k + 0.5 * 1.5 Sk

are the characteristic values of the permanent, variable and prestressing action,
is the coefficient for frequent value of a variable action, generally
representing the value that is exceeded with a frequency of 0.05, or 300 times
per year,
is the coefficient for quasi-permanent value of a variable action,
generally representing the value that is exceeded with a frequency of 0.50, or
the average value over a period of time.

As a further simplification to 1, effects of actions may be determined
from those determined in normal temperature design.
Ed,fi = fi Ed
