Scope & assumptions
NBCC 2025 combination workspace. Load effects and factors are intentionally editable because governing combinations depend on the limit state, leading action, load direction, occupancy and provincial/territorial adoption.

NBCC 2025 Load Combination Workspace
Editable Canadian load-combination workspace for D, L, S, W and E effects.
NBCC 2025Custom factorsD · L · S · W · E
Calculation basis
Factored effect = γD·D + γL·L + γS·S + γW·W + γE·E.
Important engineering note: The default factors are an example workspace only, not a declaration of the governing NBCC combination. Select the combination and factors required by NBCC 2025 and the code adopted in the project jurisdiction.

Frequently asked questions
Is this a complete code design?
No. It is a transparent preliminary calculation. Code-specific limits, detailing, stability and project conditions must be verified independently.
Can I use the result for construction?
Use the result as a screening or checking aid only. Final design and construction documents should be verified by a qualified professional where required.
Why are some resistance factors entered by the user?
Many design standards contain member-, material-, product- or project-specific values. Metric Republic keeps these visible and user-controlled instead of hiding assumptions.
