Library Stack Seismic Load
(OP)
Can anyone help me find information regarding how much load from library stacks should be included in seismic design?

If library stack room is considered storage, then I would use 25% of 150 psf in the effective seismic weight. However, I can see that, with the stacks full, this might be unconservative, especially if bolted to the floor. Before I run loads on the building, I just want to be sure that I should include 100% of the live load for library stacks for the effective seismic weight. This will make a large difference in the design, although I'm probably in SDC B.
