Load reduction for single span floor deck

[braves25]

Hello all,

In looking at typical floor deck (non-composite) load tables, these are for a three span condition. Footnotes call for a load reduction for a single span condition. Question, is there a simple "reduction" factor to be applied to the table loads for double and single condition? Thanks and have a great day.

Simplistically, look to your moment and shear ratios for simple span compared to multi span conditions.

I believe Canam's deck books give values for 1, 2 and 3 span conditions.
