stress reduction when designing handrail and railing
(OP)
As it is known commonly when designing handrails as per the code one designs for a concentrated force of 200 lb, or uniform load of 50 lb/ ft.My question is does the nyc code allow for 1/3 stress reduction in this case? can the 200 lb load be considered temporary, to allow for the stress reduction?

Our good ol' Florida Building Code gets a little goofy at times.

After kneeling on a tin roof driving screws to keep it fastened through just one more hurricane, as the hurricane arrived, I resolved to get a battery powered screwdriver.

Mike...just move a little farther north...you realize hurricanes only hit Dade/Broward
Don't ever design anything that straddles the north Broward county line...two designs in one!
