Section 2.3.4 does not address buoyancy, but rather, self-straining effects, such as thermal loads, shrinkage, creep, etc. In both ASCE 7-16 and 7-22 loads associated with water embodied in soil is considered as load H in the load combinations of Chapter 2. ASCE 7-22 contains somewhat clarified language in this regard, relative to ASCE 7-16. The strength load factors on hydrostatic load from saturated soils vary depending on whether the pressure is in concern with primary loads (e.g. lateral pressure against basement walls) or counter to primary loads (e.g. buoyant uplift).
