UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 UNIFIED FACILITIES CRITERIA (UFC) REVISION SUMMARY SHEET Subject: UFC 3-301-01, Structural Engineering Cancels: UFC 3-301-01, Structural Engineering dated 27 January 2010 with change 3 of 31 January 2012 Description of Changes: This UFC adopts the structural design provisions of the 2012 International Building Code (IBC 2012) for use in DoD building design and renovation. Live load table is updated to coordinate with IBC 2012. Site-specific structural load data tables for wind are updated to the ultimate design wind speed values from IBC 2012 which are the basic wind speed values from ASCE/SEI 710. Site-specific structural load data tables for seismic ground motion parameters are updated to the risk-adjusted maximum considered earthquake values and include the peak ground accelerations from ASCE/SEI 7-10. Reasons for Changes: The updated UFC is designed to be consistent with and to supplement the guidance contained in IBC 2012 as modified by UFC 1-200-01. Impact: There are negligible cost impacts. However, the following benefit should be realized: Load tables ensure that the locations identified and the loadings described are complete and current with the most up-to-date available information. DoD structural design criteria are current with industry codes and standards.

UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION 1-1 PURPOSE AND SCOPE
This Unified Facility Criteria (UFC) provides requirements for structures designed and constructed for the Department of Defense (DoD). These technical requirements are based on the 2012 International Building Code (IBC 2012), as modified by UFC 1-20001. This information shall be used by structural engineers to develop design calculations, specifications, plans, and design-build Requests for Proposal (RFPs). 1-2 BACKGROUND
UFC 1-200-01 uses and supplements IBC 2012 as the building code for DoD. Chapter 2 of this UFC further modifies the IBC for structural-specific design requirements and is organized by the chapter of IBC that each section modifies. Chapter 3 of this UFC further modifies ASCE/SEI 7-10 for structural-specific design requirements and is organized by the chapter of ASCE/SEI 7 that each section modifies. The climatic and seismic data included in this UFC are intended as a tool to assist in the consistent interpretation of the corresponding data in the IBC at significant DoD installations within the United States, and as the basis for applying the provisions of UFC 1-200-01 to significant DoD installations outside of the United States. Chapter 4 provides additional guidance for the design of structures other than buildings. The IBC 2012 and ASCE/SEI 7-10 section modifications are one of four actions, according to the following legend: [Addition] Add new section, including new section number, not shown in IBC 2012 or ASCE/SEI 7-10. [Deletion] Delete referenced IBC 2012 or ASCE/SEI 7-10 section. [Replacement] Delete referenced IBC 2012 or ASCE/SEI 7-10 section or noted portion and replace it with the narrative shown. [Supplement] Add narrative shown as a supplement to the narrative shown in the referenced section of IBC 2012 or ASCE/SEI 7-10. 1-3 APPLICABILITY
This UFC applies to all service elements and contractors involved in the planning, design and construction of DoD facilities worldwide. 1-4 OTHER CRITERIA
Military criteria other than those listed in this document may be applicable to specific types of structure. Such structures shall meet the additional requirements of the applicable military criteria. 1-4.1 General Building Requirements 1
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 Comply with UFC 1-200-01, General Building Requirements. UFC 1-200-01 provides applicability of model building codes and government unique criteria for typical design disciplines and building systems, as well as for accessibility, antiterrorism, security, high performance and sustainability requirements, and safety. Use this FC in addition to UFC 1-200-01 and the UFCs and government criteria referenced therein. 1-4.2 Seismic Design

For design of buildings to resist progressive collapse, refer to UFC 4-023-03. 1-5 REFERENCES
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 CHAPTER 2 MODIFICATIONS TO IBC 2-1 2-1.1 2-1.1.1 CHAPTER 16 - STRUCTURAL DESIGN Section 1603 - CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS 1603.2 - Delegated Engineered Systems [Addition]
The engineer of record for a structure may delegate responsibility for the design of systems or component parts of the structure to a qualified delegated engineer. Both the engineer of record for the structure and the delegated engineer must comply with the requirements of this UFC. The following are some examples of delegated systems. a. Prefabricated wood components b. Cast-in-place post-tensioned concrete structural systems c. Precast, prestressed concrete components d. Open web steel joists and joist girders e. Pre-engineered metal buildings f. Specialty foundation systems g. Structural steel connections h. Cold-formed steel joist/stud/truss framing and pre-fabricated components i. j. Seismic anchorage of equipment Proprietary track for under-hung cranes and monorails
k. Autoclaved aerated concrete The delegated engineer must sign and seal all work they design. The structural engineer of record must review all submittals that have been signed and sealed by the delegated engineer, to verify compliance with the design intent and the specified design criteria and to ensure coordination with the contract documents and other shop drawings. All submittals from the delegated engineer must be approved by the engineer of record prior to the start of fabrication of the system or component part and prior to any field construction that may be affected by the system or component part. 2-1.2 2-1.2.1 Section 1604 - GENERAL DESIGN REQUIREMENTS 1604.3 - Serviceability [Supplement]
The structural designer shall ensure that the maximum allowable frame drift is suitable for the proposed structure considering occupancy, use/function, and all details of 3
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 construction. See ASCE/SEI 7 Appendix C Serviceability Considerations including commentary, and Section B-1.1 of UFC 3-301-01 for additional guidance. In the wind design of a building or a non-building structure, the lateral drift shall not exceed H/480 based on a wind speed with a 10 year MRI. See Figure CC-1 of ASCE/SEI 7 for wind speeds with a 10 year MRI. Consideration shall be given to the cladding system when evaluating lateral drift as a more stringent drift limitation may be appropriate depending on the cladding system. Exception: The drift limits can be modified with concurrence/approval from the Authority Having Jurisdiction. Wall systems and other building elements that are not part of the lateral force resisting system shall be detailed to ensure that they are not susceptible to damage. Masonry and other brittle wall systems are particularly susceptible to damage if not properly integrated into the design to ensure that they can adequately resist the stresses resulting from the building deformations or are effectively isolated to prevent damage. Exception: Reinforced concrete frame members not designed as part of the seismic lateral force-resisting system shall comply with Section 21.13 of ACI 318. All structural vertical load bearing wall elements shall be considered to be part of the lateral force-resisting system. All applicable provisions of UFC 3-310-04 Table 2-1 shall apply. 2-1.2.2 1604.3.1 - Deflections [Replacement]
Deflections of structural members shall not exceed the more restrictive of the limitations of Sections 1604.3.2 through 1604.3.5 or those permitted by Table 1604.3, or Table 2-1 of UFC 3-301-01.

Notes to Table 2-1, LATERAL DEFLECTION LIMITS FOR FRAMING SUPPORTING EXTERIOR WALL FINISHES a. Lateral deflection limits under wind loads or seismic displacements amplified per UFC 3-310-04 Table 2-1. b. The wind load is permitted to be taken as 0.42 times the component and cladding loads for the purpose of determining the deflection limits herein. c. L shall be calculated as L = k*l, where k is the theoretical effective length factor, and l is the actual member length. 2-1.2.3 1604.5 - Risk Category [Replacement]
Each building and structure shall be assigned a risk category in accordance with Table 2-2 of UFC 3-301-01. Where referenced standard specifies an occupancy category, the risk category shall not be taken as lower than the occupancy category specified therein. Importance factors for snow load, seismic load, and ice for each risk category are also shown in Table 2-2 of UFC 3-301-01. Note: IBC section 1604.5.1 shall remain in effect as written. 2-1.2.4 Table 1604.5 [Replacement]
Replace Table 1604.5 of the IBC with Table 2-2 of this UFC. (All references in the IBC to Table 1604.5 shall be interpreted as a reference to Table 2-2 of this UFC.)

UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 APPENDIX B BEST PRACTICES B-1 B-1.1 STRUCTURAL DESIGN Building Drift Limits
The IBC and ASCE/SEI 7 provide guidance and discussion on establishing drift limits and load combinations that must be considered in evaluating serviceability. The establishment of acceptable drift limits requires significant engineering judgment. Application of a requirement that is too stringent can significantly impact the cost of a structure. Requirements that are too lax can lead to damage of rigidly connected components. The Metal Building Systems Manual provides guidance for allowable drift due to wind loads for pre-engineered metal buildings, and serviceability recommendations for metal buildings can also be found in Chapter L of AISC 360 with additional guidance in AISC Steel Design Guide 3. When separate support columns are used for top-running cranes, they should be supported so that differential movement between the crane columns and building columns, due to differences in stiffness, does not overstress either column and result in local column buckling. B-1.2 Impact Resistant Glazing
Buildings which are subjected to tornado winds can suffer some of the same missile impact damage to the exterior faade of the building as those located in windborne debris regions. The loss of glazing on a building due to missile impact can render the facility inoperable. The loss of glazing will also cause an increase in internal pressure in the building causing further damage. Consideration should be given to providing impact resistant glazing on facilities in tornado prone areas similar to what is required in windborne debris regions. Tornado prone regions are the areas of the United States that have had five or more a recorded EF3, EF4 or EF5 tornadoes per Figure 2-2 in FEMA P-361. B-1.3 Hard Wall Buildings
In buildings constructed of load bearing tilt-up or precast structural walls the loss of the roof diaphragm during a high wind event can lead to total collapse of the structure. The following are several possible methods to mitigate this hazard: Create enough fixity between the bottom of the panels and the foundation to provide stability to the wall panels in the event of the loss of the roof diaphragm. Limit the length of continuous wall panels between full height lateral cross bracing elements to better restrain the wall panels. Provide a system of robust continuous ties across the roof diaphragm to preserve the walls if the roof diaphragm fails.
39
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 B-1.4 Wind and Seismic Loads on Photovoltaic Arrays
Guidance on the design wind and seismic loads for roof top photovoltaic arrays can be found in Wind Design for Low-Profile Solar Photovoltaic Arrays on Flat Roofs (SEAOC PV2-2012) and Structural Seismic Requirements and Commentary for Rooftop Solar Photovoltaic Arrays (SEAOC PV1-2012), prepared by the Structural Engineers Association of California Solar Photovoltaic Systems Committee. When designing support structures for photovoltaic arrays, review requirements in UFC 3-110-03 Roofing concerning roof mounted systems including the requirement that supports be permanently affixed to the structure, which means that ballasted systems are not permitted. B-1.5 Wind Loads on Buildings with Large Openings
When determining wind loads on building containing large openings such as overhead doors in warehouses, maintenance shops, etc., it is recommended that the criteria for hangars in Section 2-1.5.2 of this UFC be used. B-2 B-2.1 SOILS AND FOUNDATIONS Gable Bent Footings
Moment frame reactions from metal building gable bents have horizontal thrusts at column bases which can be resisted by several methods. For large thrust forces (40 to 50 kips (118 kN to 222 kN)), tie rods are usually cost-effective. The tie rod can be embedded in a thickened slab or as part of a tie beam between column foundations. For smaller thrust forces, hairpin rebar may be used to transfer the thrust force from the column anchor bolts into the slab-on-ground reinforcement which acts as the tie between the columns. However, each of these methods requires close attention to detailing of control joints in the slab, isolation joints around a foundation pier and other possible interruptions in the continuous slab reinforcement between columns. Also, future renovation that might require trenching across the continuous slab reinforcement could result in the loss of the tension tie. A third method is to design the foundation for an overturning moment due to the thrust force at the base of the column. Each of these methods can provide the necessary resistance to the thrust force, but needs to be evaluated for each project condition. For further discussion on the design of foundations for gable bent reactions, refer to Metal Building System Design and Specification by Alexander Newman. B-2.2 Footings on Expansive Soils
In the presence of expansive soils, footings must be designed to withstand expansive soil movement in order to prevent significant damage to structures. Cyclical expansive soil movement from soil water content, usually caused by a combination of inadequate drainage and seasonal wetting and drying cycles, are especially troublesome. Base the design on soil testing and recommendations by qualified geotechnical engineers. Ensure soil investigations include estimates of settlement, heave, and recommendations to mitigate effects of expansive soil movement. Ensure positive 40
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 drainage away from structures that will prevent ponding close to structures. Guidance on design of foundations on expansive soils can be found in UFC 3-220-01. B-2.3 Footings Depth Due to Frost
The depth to which frost penetrates at a site depends on the climate, the type of soil, the moisture in the soil and the surface cover (e.g., pavement kept clear of snow vs. snow covered turf). If the supporting soil is warmed by heat from a building, frost penetration is reduced considerably. The values in Tables E-2 and F-2 represent the depth of frost penetration to be expected if the ground is bare of vegetation and snow cover, the soil is non-frost susceptible (NFS), well-drained (i.e., dry) sand or gravel, and no building heat is available. Thus, these values represent the deepest (i.e., worst case) frost penetration expected in each area. Most building foundations can be at a shallower depth without suffering frost action. (However, other considerations besides frost penetration may affect foundation depth, such as erosion potential or moisture desiccation). For interior footings, which under service conditions are not normally susceptible to frost, the potential effects of frost heave during construction should be considered. Design values for heated and unheated buildings may be obtained by reducing the values in Tables E-2 and F-2 according to Figure B-1. For buildings heated only infrequently, the curve in Figure B-1 for unheated buildings should be used. The curves in Figure B-1 were established with an appreciation for the variability of soil and the understanding that some portions of the building may abut snow-covered turf while other portions abut paved areas kept clear of snow. Foundations should be placed at or below the depths calculated above. The foundation of heated buildings may be placed at a shallower depth than calculated above if protected from frost action by insulation on the cold side, see Figure C1 of SEI/ASCE 32. For more information on the design of foundation insulation, see SEI/ASCE 32. Additional information on which more refined estimates of frost penetration can be made, based on site-specific climatic information, the type of ground cover and soil conditions is contained in UFC 3-130-06. Figure B-1 Footing Depth Example: The minimum depth needed for footings of a hospital and an unheated vehicle storage building to be built in Fort Drum, New York, is calculated to protect them from frost action. The tabulated frost penetration value for Fort Drum is 94 inches (Table E-2). Using the heated curve in Figure B-1, footings for the hospital should be located 4 feet below the surface. Using the unheated curve, footings for the unheated garage should be located 5.5 feet below the surface.

UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 B-3 B-3.1 CONCRETE Slab-on-Ground Concrete Strength
For slabs-on-ground subject to forklift traffic, it is recommended that the minimum compressive strength for the concrete be 4,000 psi (27.6 MPa) for pneumatic tire traffic and 5,000 psi (34.5 MPa) for steel tire traffic. B-3.2 Slab-on-Ground Control Joints
For slabs-on-ground it is recommended that the control joints align across the building floor plate to avoid joints ending abruptly along the length or width of a panel. Joints that end abruptly at an adjacent panel edge could cause a crack to propagate into the adjacent panel. For locations where placement of joints at a panel edge are unavoidable, refer to UFC 3-320-06A for additional reinforcement requirements to minimize crack propagation. Location of control joints in slabs-on-ground need to be coordinated with the joints in hard-surface finishes to avoid having the control joint telegraph through the hardsurface finish. B-3.3 Slab-on-Ground Drying Shrinkage
Cracking in slabs generally results from drying shrinkage and restraint caused by friction between the slab and subgrade. Curling and warping occur due to differential shrinkage when the top of the slab dries to lower moisture content than the bottom of the slab. Recommendations for reducing the effects of drying shrinkage can be found in ACI 360R, ACI 224R and ACI 302.1R. Shrinkage compensating concrete can also be used to reduce shrinkage cracking. See recommendations in ACI 223R. B-3.4 Slab-on-Ground Vapor Retarder/Barrier
To facilitate proper moisture control of a slab-on-ground to meet the moisture limits of water-based adhesives and durability during construction, it is recommended that the vapor retarder have a minimum thickness of 10 mil (250 m) with a maximum permeance rating of 0.04 perm. Where moisture is a critical issue under the floor covering, such as wood floors, and a vapor barrier required, it is recommended to reduce the maximum permeance rating to 0.01 perm. For further guidance on slabs to receive moisture-sensitive floor coverings refer to ACI 302.2R. B-3.5 Post Installed Adhesive Concrete Anchors
It is recommended that adhesive anchors be proof loaded during special inspections of critical anchors to the lesser of 50 percent of the expected peak load based on adhesive bond strength or 80 percent of the anchor yield strength with the proof load being sustained for a minimum of 10 seconds.

UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 B-4 B-4.1 MASONRY Masonry Veneer Base Detail
The base of the masonry veneer should be placed on a shelf angle or a foundation ledge that is lower than the base of the steel stud wall by at least 4 inches (102 mm). The width of this shelf angle or foundation ledge will include the width of the masonry veneer and the cavity. This width should not be less than two-thirds of the veneer thickness plus the minimum air space. B-5 B-5.1 STEEL Shelf Angles for Masonry
Shelf angles should be hot-dip galvanized structural steel members. Angles should be provided in segments approximately 10 feet (3 m) in length, with gaps between segments. Shelf angles should be detailed to allow enough gaps for thermal expansion and contraction of the steel in angle runs and at building corners. Corners of buildings should have corner pieces with each leg no less than 4 feet (1.2 m) in length where possible. Limit deflection of horizontal legs of shelf angles under masonry loading to 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) at the end of the horizontal leg. Rotation of the shelf angle support should be included in the 1/16 inch (1.6 mm) deflection limit for the horizontal leg displacement calculation. B-5.2 Cold-Formed Continuous Beams and Joists
Guidance on determining the effective length of the unbraced compression flange for cold-formed continuous beams and joists can be found in AISI Effective Lengths for Laterally Unbraced Compression Flanges of Continuous Beams Near Intermediate Supports. B-5.3 Masonry Veneer/Steel Stud Wall Detailing
Recommended details for masonry veneer/steel stud wall assemblies can be found in BIA Technical Note 28B. B-5.4 Steel Structures in Corrosive Environments
Steel structures designed for corrosive environments should include consideration of the following corrosion protection measures: a. Box-shaped members should be designed so that all inside surfaces may be readily inspected, cleaned, and painted, or should be closed entirely, except when hot-dip galvanized, to prevent exposure to moisture. 44
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 b. The legs of two back-to-back angle members, when not in contact, should have a minimum separation of 3/8 inch (9.5 mm) to permit air circulation. c. Pockets or depressions in horizontal members should have drain holes to prevent water from ponding in low areas. Positive drainage should be provided away from exposed steel. Column bases should be terminated on concrete curbs or piers above grade, and tops of curbs or piers should be pitched to drain. d. Where extremely corrosive conditions exist, consideration should be given to providing cathodic protection in addition to protective coatings for steel members exposed to salt water moisture environments. e. Structural members embedded in concrete and exterior railing, handrails, fences, guardrails, and anchor bolts should be galvanized or constructed of stainless steel. f. Dissimilar metals, (e.g., aluminum and steel, stainless steel and carbon steel, zinc coated steel and uncoated steel) should be isolated by appropriate means to avoid the creation of galvanic cells which can occur when dissimilar metals come in contact. g. Consult a corrosion specialist certified by NACE International to recommend material protection for elements exposed to heavy industrial pollution, chemicals or corrosive soils. h. For increased serviceability and compatibility with fireproofing use galvanized steel deck in accordance with ASTM A653/A653M. i. Note that some common grades of stainless alloy such as ASTM Type 306 or 316 are susceptible to corrosion when immersed in salt or brackish water.
Further guidance in designing steel structures in corrosive environments can be found in ASM Handbook Volume 13B. B-5.5 Steel Structures in Arctic and Antarctic Zones
For carbon steel, the transition from ductile to brittle behavior occurs within temperatures to be expected in Arctic and Antarctic zones. Ductility is important for structures in high seismic areas. Toughness, a characteristic also affected by cold temperatures, is important for structures which could be subjected to cyclic or impact loadings. Design of structures which could be subjected to cyclic or impact loads in cold climates should include consideration of the following measures to mitigate potential fatigue and fracture problems: a. Provide ample fillets to avoid stress risers. 45
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 b. Use bolted joints whenever possible. If welded joints are used, take precautions to eliminate gas and impurities in welds. Proper preheating and post-cooling are essential. c. Use low-carbon steels and nickel-alloy steel that have good toughness characteristics at low temperatures. B-5.6 Steel Column Base Plate Shear Transfer
Shear transfer between column base plates and the concrete foundation elements can be accomplished through several load paths including shear friction between the base plate and grout, anchor rod bearing or shear key bearing. The design provisions in AISC Design Guide 1: Base Plate and Anchor Rod Design should be followed when designing base plates for shear. Research and full scale testing of base plates in shear, conducted at University of California at Berkely, provide further guidance on recommended shear friction coefficient, anchor rod bending length and concrete capacity design of shear key bearing. Results of the testing can be found in the research report Shear Transfer in Exposed Column Base Plates. B-5.7 Steel Joist Connections
Connections between open web steel joists and supporting girders or joist girders and building columns are in many instances covered by typical details provided by the joist supplier which may not provide the needed capacity for lateral or uplift loading. Each joist connection should be designed specifically for the project and take into consideration the lateral and uplift loads acting on the connection. B-6 B-6.1 WOOD Connections
When using prescriptive guidelines in building codes for nailed wood connections, careful consideration needs to be given to ensure a complete load path from the roof to the foundation. The use of metal plate connections for roof trusses, top plates and sill plates is an effective way to provide a more robust load path.

UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 Notes to Table D-1, MINIMUM UNIFORMLY DISTRIBUTED LIVE LOADS, LO, AND MINIMUM CONCENTRATED LIVE LOADS For SI: 1 inch = 25.4 mm, 1 square inch = 645.16 mm2, 1 square foot = 0.0929 m2, 1 pound per square foot = 0.0479 kN/m2 = 0.0479 kPa, 1 pound = 0.004448 kN, 1 pound per cubic foot = 16 kg/m3. a. Floors in garages or portions of building used for the storage of motor vehicles shall be designed for the uniformly distributed live loads of Table 1607.1 or the following concentrated loads: (1) for garages restricted to passenger vehicles accommodating not more than nine passengers, 3,000 pounds (13.34 kN) acting on an area of 4.5 inches x 4.5 inches (114 mm x 114 mm); (2) for mechanical parking structures without slab or deck which are used for storing passenger vehicles only, 2,250 pounds (10.0 kN) per wheel. b. The loading applies to stack room floors that support non-mobile, double-faced library book stacks, subject to the following limitations: 1) The nominal book stack unit height shall not exceed 90 inches (2,290mm). 2) The nominal shelf depth shall not exceed 12 inches (305mm) for each face; and 3) Parallel rows of double-faced book stacks shall be separated by aisles not less than 36 inches (915 mm) wide. c. Design in accordance with the ICC 300. d. Other uniform loads in accordance with an approved method containing provisions for truck loadings shall also be considered where appropriate. e. The concentrated wheel load shall be applied on an area of 4.5 inches by 4.5 inches (114mm x 114mm). f. The minimum concentrated load on stair treads shall be applied on area of 2 inches by 2 inches (51mm x 51mm). This load need not be assumed to act concurrently with the uniform load. g. Where snow loads occur that are in excess of the design conditions, the structure shall be designed to support the loads due to the increased loads caused by drift buildup or a greater snow design determined by the building official. (See IBC Section 1608). h. See IBC Section 1604.8.3 for decks attached to exterior walls. i. Uninhabitable attics without storage are those where the maximum clear height between the joist and rafter is less than 42 inches (1067 mm), or where there are not two or more adjacent trusses with the same web configuration capable of accommodating an assumed rectangle 42 inches (1067 mm) high by 24 inches (610 mm) in width, or greater, within the plane of the truss. This live load need not be assumed to act concurrently with any other live load requirements. Uninhabitable attics with storage are those where the maximum clear height between the joist and rafter is 42 inches (1067 mm) or greater, or where there are two or more adjacent trusses with the same web configuration capable of 56
j.
UFC 3-301-01 1 June 2013 accommodating an assumed rectangle 42 inches (1067 mm) high by 24 inches (610 mm) in width, or greater, within the plane of the trusses. The live load need only be applied to those portions of the joists or truss bottom chords where both of the following conditions are met: 1) The attic area is accessible from an opening not less than 20 inches (508 mm) in width by 30 inches (762 mm) in length that is located where the clear height in the attic is a minimum of 30 inches (762 mm); and 2) The slopes of the joists or truss bottom chords are no greater than two units vertical in 12 units horizontal. The remaining portions of the joist or truss bottom chords shall be designed for a uniformly distributed concurrent live load of not less than 10 psf (0.5 kPa). k. Attic spaces served by stairways other than the pull-down type shall be designed to support the minimum live load specified for habitable attics and sleeping rooms. l. Areas of occupiable roofs, other than roof gardens and assembly areas, shall be designed for appropriate loads as approved by the contracting officer, or the contracting officers designated representative. Unoccupied landscaped areas of roof shall be designed in accordance with IBC Section 1607.12.3.
m. Live load reduction is not permitted unless specific exceptions of IBC Section 1607.10 apply. n. Helipads supporting military aircraft shall be designed to support the actual aircraft weight and impact loading due to landing. o. For live loads on pedestrian bridges see AASHTO LRFD Guide Specifications for the Design of Pedestrian Bridges. p. All attics with mechanical units shall be designed for a mechanical equipment room loading.
