Where specifically required by Sections 1614 through 1616, elements and components shall be designed to resist the forces calculated using the following combination of factored loads:
where:
The live load component f1L need not be greater than the reduced live load.
where:
| f1 | = | 0.25 for buildings in Structural Occupancy Category II. |
| f1 | = | 0.5 for buildings in Structural Occupancy Category III or IV. |
| f2 | = | 0 for buildings in Structural Occupancy Category II. |
| f2 | = | 0.33 for buildings in Structural Occupancy Category III or IV. |
The live load component f1L need not be greater than the reduced live load.
