Sustained live load
(OP)
What is the definition of sustained live load? Where in the code(s) can I find reference to it? Thank you.

None of this is in the code - it is simply a traditional way geotechs attempt to utilize short term vs. long term stresses in soils that fail with long term sustained loads. So there isn't a code definition here and the best bet would be to contact the geotechnical engineer and have them "go on record" as to what they mean by "sustained" loading - document it - and move on.
