1960's SBC Live Load
1960's SBC Live Load
(OP)
Hi all,
Does anyone have a copy of the SBC from the 60's or early 70's? I am analyzing a balcony/gallery and it does not work for 60 psf live load. I was trying determine if a smaller live load was required 35 years ago for a balcony.
Any input would be appreciated!

We have the '76 SBC but I missed the Theaters Balconies 50 psf. That must have been what the original engineers used. Unfortunately some of the members still fail. Off to write a letter.
Thanks again!
