(OP)
Quick question regarding note 2 attached to Fig I-8 (C and C loads) in the NBCC structural commentary. The note states " The abscissa area in the graph is the design tributary area within the specified zone". Does that mean the tributary area for the member under consideration or the area of the specified zone?

For me it seem it really mean the area of zone E ou W !
RE: Fig I-8, NBCC
read it again "The abscissa area in the graph is the design tributary area within the specified zone." To me that reads you use the trib area of whatever member (stud, girt, column, etc) you are designing. The zone you are in just determines which line you pull your CpCg off of. It's their own version of LL reduction in my eyes.
RE: Fig I-8, NBCC
I have the french version where the word "Design" is replaced by "Theorical" due to translation. If you miss the word tributary, the sentense can be intrepreted as "The theorical surface within he specified zone"
My mistake !
