1607.4 Concentrated Loads
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Floors and other similar surfaces shall be designed to support the uniformly distributed live loads prescribed in Section 1607.3 or the concentrated load, in pounds (kilonewtons), given in Table 1607.1, whichever produces the greater load effects. Unless otherwise specified, the indicated concentration shall be assumed to be uniformly distributed over an area 21/2 feet by 21/2 feet (0.76 m by 0.76 m) [61/4 square feet (0.58 m2)] and shall be located so as to produce the maximum load effects in the structural members.
