Live Load Reduction

This document summarizes the process for reducing roof live loads according to the International Building Code. It provides equations to calculate reduced roof live load values based on the area of the roof and framing factors. The reduced load must be between 12-20 psf and used for roof live load design. Reductions of floor live loads must also conform to additional IBC requirements.
