Loading Information ‑ Line Loads

SettingDescription
Load This is the line load segment number. Each line load segment is defined by two rows of output: the beginning of the line load segment is listed on the same line of output as the segment number, the end of the line load segment is listed on the following line of output.
Dist This is the distance, measured from the left end of the beam, to the beginning or end of a line load, for the give load segment.
DL This is the magnitude of the dead load at Dist.
CDL This is the magnitude of the construction (pre‑composite) dead load at Dist.
LL This is the magnitude of the unreduced live load at Dist.
Red% This is the percent of live load reduction allowed for the type of load indicated, based on the currently selected building code.
Type This is the type of live load reduction used based on the currently selected building code. "Red" indicates that the live load is Reducible, and can be reduced by the percent shown. "Roof" indicates that the live load is a Roof load. "Snow" indicates that the roof live load is a non-reducible snow load. "NonR" indicates that the live load is non‑reducible. "Stor" indicates that the live load is a storage live load.
CLL This is the magnitude of the construction live load at Dist.
PartL This is the magnitude of the partition live load at Dist.
