Building Code Requirements Safety Factor: Loading Conditions Dead Loads: Dead Loads are permanent, non-moveable elements (floor framing and decking, ceiling finish, mechanical systems, insulation, etc.) and loading is determined by the sum of the weights…per square foot…of all these elements. Dead Loads are applied uniformly to the floor system. Common design practice uses standard Dead Load factors of 10, 15 or 25 PSF depending on the makeup of the floor/ceiling envelope.
Building Code Requirements Safety Factor: Loading Conditions Special Loads: Line, Point and Area Loads are permanent and represent concentrated loads on specific limited areas of a floor system. They are not applied uniformly. These special loads may result from roof framing, interior bearing walls, large mechanical units, large fixtures, etc.
