Live Load Reduction

For both parts, use Table $2\mathrm{.}1$ of Gupta to find the basic design live load, $L_0.$

$($a$)$ An interior floor beam supports a tributary area of $750f{t}^2$ in an office area.

Calculate the floor live load in psf$,$ including the effect of live load reduction if

appropriate.

$($b$)$ An edge beam supports a tributary area of $500f{t}^2$ in a heavy manufacturing area.

Calculate the floor live load in psf$,$ including the effect of live load reduction if

appropriate.
