For multiple stories of live load ASCE 7 does not provide clear guidance, however HUD has published some intresting 'Residential Construction Design Guide' and 'Structural Design Loads for One- and Two-Family Dwellings' which provide intresting perspective on load combinations and reductions. It provides a floor LL reduction equation developed for residential floors. It also recommends greater load combination reductions and presents the load combination of D+L1+0.7(L2+L3+...), where L1 is the story for which members are being designed and L2, L3 are the live loads imposed by floors above.
