It is recommended that, in order to get the appropriate factors, you draw:
- car park loads on a Live (Storage) layer
- assembly loads on a Live (Unreducible) layer
- storage loads on a Live (Storage) layer if you would like their effects to be reducible for beams (only), and on a Live (Unreducible) layer if you do not want their effects to be reduced for any member.
Note: If you draw car park loads on a Live (Storage) layer, however,
RAM Concept applies a (conservative) load factor of 2.76 in the LT Uncracked Deflection LC.
