Floor Live Load Reduction UBC 97
Floor Live Load Reduction UBC 97
(OP)
Does anyone know if a dormitory / apartment second floor live load is alload a reduction? According to the IBC 2000, a reduction is allowed. I could of sworn that the UBC 97 allowed a 40 lb/sqft live load for the bedroom areas to be reduced to 30 lb/sqft.
