Live Load Reduction For Different Uniform Loads

Live Load Reduction For Different Uniform Loads

Live Load Reduction For Different Uniform Loads

(OP)
Hi all,

If a member's tributary area includes a 40 psf region (living space) and a 100 psf region (public walkway), am I allowed to reduce both of those live loads individually according to IBC 2015 1607.10.1 OR ASCE7-10 4.7?

Thanks in advance

RE: Live Load Reduction For Different Uniform Loads

Yes.

Cannot reduce any LL over 100 psf though.
