To remember these wind load combinations, you can observe the pattern in which they are generated. Here are some key points and patterns to help with memorization:要记住这些风荷载组合的规律，可以通过观察它们的生成模式。以下是一些帮助记忆的要点和规律：

Basic Rules of Combinations组合的基本规律

1. Presence of Variables:变量的存在：

   • Each combination consists of three variables: Fx, Fy, and Mz
   • The coefficient in front of each variable can be positive, negative

2. Combination Form:

   • Each combination form is a linear combination of three variables with coefficients of 1.0 or 0.55.

Specific Combination Patterns

1. First 8 Combinations (1 to 8)

• Form: $\pm 1.0Fx\pm 0.55Fy\pm 0.55Mz$
• Pattern:
  • The coefficient of $Fx$ is fixed at $\pm 1.0$.
  • The coefficients of $Fy$ and $Mz$ are fixed at $\pm 0.55$.
• Memory Tip: Keep the coefficient of $Fx$ at $\pm 1.0$, then take all combinations of $\pm 0.55$ coefficients for $Fy$ and $Mz$.

2. Middle 8 Combinations (9 to 16)

• Form: $\pm 0.55Fx\pm 1.0Fy\pm 0.55Mz$
• Pattern:
  • The coefficient of $Fy$ is fixed at $\pm 1.0$.
  • The coefficients of $Fx$ and $Mz$ are fixed at $\pm 0.55$.
• Memory Tip: Keep the coefficient of $Fy$ at $\pm 1.0$, then take all combinations of $\pm 0.55$ coefficients for $Fx$ and $Mz$.

3. Last 8 Combinations (17 to 24)

• Form: $\pm 0.55Fx\pm 0.55Fy\pm 1.0Mz$
• Pattern:
  • The coefficient of $Mz$ is fixed at $\pm 1.0$.
  • The coefficients of $Fx$ and $Fy$ are fixed at $\pm 0.55$.
• Memory Tip: Keep the coefficient of $Mz$ at $\pm 1.0$, then take all combinations of $\pm 0.55$ coefficients for $Fx$ and $Fy$.

Summary of Combinations

Following these patterns, you can summarize the combinations as:

• Each group of 8 combinations corresponds to one variable’s coefficient fixed at 1.0 or -1.0, with the other two variables’ coefficients at $\pm 0.55$.
• Each group of combinations includes all possible arrangements of positive and negative signs.

Here are the specific forms of the combinations, arranged according to these patterns:

Fx 固定为 ±1.0,
1. 1.0Fx + 0.55Fy + 0.55Mz
2. 1.0Fx + 0.55Fy - 0.55Mz
3. 1.0Fx - 0.55Fy + 0.55Mz
4. 1.0Fx - 0.55Fy - 0.55Mz
5. -1.0Fx + 0.55Fy + 0.55Mz
6. -1.0Fx + 0.55Fy - 0.55Mz
7. -1.0Fx - 0.55Fy + 0.55Mz
8. -1.0Fx - 0.55Fy - 0.55MzFy 固定为 ±1.0
9. 0.55Fx + 1.0Fy + 0.55Mz
10. 0.55Fx + 1.0Fy - 0.55Mz
11. 0.55Fx - 1.0Fy + 0.55Mz
12. 0.55Fx - 1.0Fy - 0.55Mz
13. -0.55Fx + 1.0Fy + 0.55Mz
14. -0.55Fx + 1.0Fy - 0.55Mz
15. -0.55Fx - 1.0Fy + 0.55Mz
16. -0.55Fx - 1.0Fy - 0.55MzMz 固定为 ±1.0
17. 0.55Fx + 0.55Fy + 1.0Mz
18. 0.55Fx + 0.55Fy - 1.0Mz
19. 0.55Fx - 0.55Fy + 1.0Mz
20. 0.55Fx - 0.55Fy - 1.0Mz
21. -0.55Fx + 0.55Fy + 1.0Mz
22. -0.55Fx + 0.55Fy - 1.0Mz
23. -0.55Fx - 0.55Fy + 1.0Mz
