The international code-based stress equations and load case labels used by CAESAR II for actual and allowable stresses are shown below.
The load case recommendations made by CAESAR II are usually sufficient for code compliance. CAESAR II does not recommend occasional load cases. Occasional loads are unknown in origin, and you must specify them.
