Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:-

The magnitude of the dead load = D = 2.8 kPa

The magnitude of the live load = L = 1.9 kPa

The magnitude of the snow load = S = 3.13 kPa

The magnitude of the wind load = W = 0.9 kPa

The magnitude of the earthquake load = E = 1.1 kPa

To determine:-

The highest load combination
