Guardrail Loads in 2009 IRC
(OP)
I would swear it is in there. Does anyone know where the design load is specified for a Guardrail in the 2009 IBC? R312 doesn't specify a load. I believe it is 200# regardless of post spacing, which is less stringent than the IBC requirement.

That is the IBC reference. I need the IRC reference.

See pages 15 & 16.
I found it noteworthy that they had modified their joist spans for Southern Yellow Pine, presumably because the design values for that species was downgraded recently.
