Don't use "2)c" below. That's (usually) a range calculation rather
than a structural "state" of the system. For example, the "2)a"
sustained (installed) load could be -10 while the operating load "2)
b" load could be +10. The resulting "2)c" load is 20. That's a
change of 20, the foundation will never see 20.
