1605.4 Structural Integrity Load Combinations—Alternate Load Path Method

NYC Building Code 2022 > 16 Structural Design > 1605 Load Combinations > 1605.4 Structural Integrity Load Combinations—Alternate Load Path Method
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
Where specifically required by Sections 1615 through 1617, elements and components shall be designed to resist the forces calculated using the following combination of factored loads:

Equation 16-27

where:

f1 = 0.25 for buildings in Risk Category II.
f1 = 0.5 for buildings in Risk Category III or IV.
f2 = 0 for buildings in Risk Category II.
f2 = 0.33 for buildings in Risk Category III or IV.


The live load component f1L need not be greater than the reduced live load.
