1605.5 Structural Integrity Load Combinations—Alternate Load Path Method
JUMP TO FULL CODE CHAPTER
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.
