Uls Load Combinations

Computes all five ULS load combinations from AS/NZS 1170.0 Table 4.1 for a structural element subject to permanent, imposed, wind, and earthquake actions. Applies the appropriate combination factors (psi_c and psi_E) based on the imposed action category, then identifies the governing design action for strength design.
