"Component Operating Weight" for stairs
"Component Operating Weight" for stairs
(OP)
I've searched the internet for a long time and can't find an answer:
I am wondering if I should include a portion of live load in calculating component seismic forces on an egress stair (ASCE 7-05). I know seismic forces don't usually include live load, but ASCE doesn't define "component operating weight".

The situation of live load on a stair system is not one of them. Only the dead load needs to be considered here.
