I am confused between load combinations as per IS 1893. All other load combinations as per IS 1893 are vertical + horizontal but the load combination 1.5(DL+LL) is purely vertical. There is no EQ load component in it. So how does one decide which is the most critical load combination b/w 1.5(DL+LL) and all other load combinations having vertical + horizontal loads in IS 1893. It is like comparing apples and oranges.
Plz elaborate.
