Subject: Live Load Reduction

For beam design, I have LL1=150psf (storage) and LL2=50psf (MEP).

Can I use LL reduction according to IBC2006?

 

Combined LL is 200psf, which is greater than 100psf.

So, I can not use LL reduction.

But, can I apply LL reduction only to LL2=50psf?

And then, reduced LL2+150psf can be used for LL.

 

I am looking forward to your response.

 

Thanks!
